    Re: Thread thread

    anyone know what bolt size / thread is used on the antiroll bar brackets to hold them onto the front of the chassis rail (in the corner under the rad)?
    The old bolts are rusted to buggery and i don't want to damage the captive threads with the wrong bolts.

    Mk1 or mk2?? On a mk2 they are m10 i think so they will be the imperial equivalent for mk1

    Hi,

    Wiper Motor to body - M6
    Heater Motor to body - some odd square thread (possibly acme) with 7/16" heads into clip nuts
    Pedal Box lower nut + upper bolt - both M8 I think, but lower nut could be 5/16" UNF, same as exhaust clamps
    Steering Column to under dash nuts - M8

    Thanks
