The confirmed applications below include external manual shift mechanisms and the listed Mk2 Golf rear-hatch striker-plate attachment. Match the fastening position as well as the vehicle. Match the exact bolt position in the original parts diagram, because adjoining shift linkage and support attachments use similar-looking fasteners with different lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal number:\u003c\/strong\u003e N-014-770-2 \/ N0147702.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e M8 nominal thread diameter and 15 mm specified bolt length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead design:\u003c\/strong\u003e socket head with internal hex drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfirmed application:\u003c\/strong\u003e original socket bolt position in the identified manual shift assembly or Golf rear-hatch striker plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e one bolt; linkage components, washers and other hardware are separate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact original bolt length is important to the intended attachment.
