Butterfly bolt

Post by rocco »

Hi Gang

Does anyone know whether the butterfly bolt that secures the air filter housing is the same size as the ones that secure the rear seat back please?

Thank you.

Looking at the parts the air filter is female and the seat is male thread

Exactly so. You'll have to ring or email around a few Minor specialists.

Thank you. I was building a big parts list at ESM while at work earlier but then decided not to post it until I checked to make sure I'd got everything. I'll check eBay and try to find one. :tu1:

Thanks Bill, I found it at ESM. All good. :tu1:

I think I got confused with the description of butterfly bolt and wing bolt.
