Nuts and bolts

[Greengrass]

Does any body know what sizes they are so i can buy some new ones these on flea bay dount fit owt and they dount seem to come with nuts

[bmcecosse]

Nuts and bolts - for what?? The body is all BSF threaded and the mechanical parts are all UNF threaded........ NOTHING is metric (thank goodness).

Thankyou ive seen that before
Just been on flea bay looking and found a nut and bolt set for morris 1000 but they say UNC and you lot say UNF i take it they are different

[bmcecosse]

There are neither UNC nor UNF bolts on the body of the car. They are ALL BSF !!

Here you are but not cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSF-NUTS-BOLT ... 5644f180c4

However - (and this heresy, so turn away if faint hearted) where there is a nut and bolt used together on the car you could use much less expensive Metric bolts and nuts....... But it's non standard and will lead to future confusion with spanner sizes.

Hell fire not cheap but as you say i can swop a nut and bolt for a metric one but im fitting two chassi legs and the bolt holes to hold the gearbox mounting bracket has nuts in place and the repair paneles for the back wings have them fitted any how £800 plus on panels another £20 more plus a hanky to cry in

Many replacement panels, if not all now, have their captive nuts in metric, rather sloppy practice when intended for a Minor. You may wish to check this out on any new metalwork you have bought.

And here I always was told that the spark plug threads were metric?

[bmcecosse]

Yes - I think they are (14mm) - an industry standard . But well spotted!!

[Greengrass]

Yes your right my chassi legs are 6mm rear wheel arch repair pannels a tight 8mm door flich panel pass

sorry to tell, but the sidevalve engine bolts are metric...

[beero]

I get my nuts and bolts from here but of course you do need to know the sizes to start with.

Wing bolts are 5/16 BSF I think

[bmcecosse]

Yes - we've been over the Side valve engine and it's metric threaded (but not headed?) fittings before.......It was an engine 'borrowed' from the French........
