Hi all, I wonder if you could help me again? I've managed to lose one of my front securing petrol tank bolts, not normally a problem until you realise that it has been re-reamed and now requires a 5/16" x 26 thread cycle rate bolt, could you possibly help? I'm a bit desperate now as I need the new bolt sharpish.
5/16" x 26 is the original thread and such a bolt should be easy to get. The original bolt has a reduced head size and has the size of a 1/4" bolt. I have such a bolt for you if you can't find one. Originally it should also have shock absorbing cup and cone with rubber washer in-between.
when i got my M20 the steering was stiff so i went to re bearing it i couldnt drop the spindle out it was the front petrol tank bolts were to long and rubbing on the spindle filed then down a little bit nice and free
