Big end bolts

Post by **harbous** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:18 pm

Whilst stripping down engine - 1098cc 'gold seal' - noticed that the big end bolts were not as expected and also there were no lockwashers. Any suggestions welcome ( and if new regular bolts are advised, where on earth can I get some at a reasonable price?! Thanks ,Steve. [frame]

They are just the same in the 1275 in our convertible

Not seen these before - and NO - they are not 1275 ones - which are bolts and nuts........... But they will be fine - I would assemble with a spot of Loctite on the (spotlessly clean/degreased) threads
