Morris Minor Owners Club

I've removed my gearbox cover to facilitate replacement of clutch/brake pedal bushes and shaft. I have half a dozen 'problem' screws, a couple of which I had to drill out and the remainder simply didn't have a caged nut and were just 'sitting there'.

I have successfully re-tapped the ones I had to drill so my question is this: does anyone know of a supplier for 1/4 bsf rivnuts or is there a better way to deal with the absent caged nuts?

Thanks in anticipation

Wonder if you fit a 1/4 UNF rivnut 28 tpi, and then run a 1/4 BSF tap through it, there's only 2 tpi difference, never tried it but it may work.

Didnt realise they did 'em in imperial.

These guys certainly do them.....

May be worth trying the re tapping idea, its not a mission critical fitting.

Great I'll be getting some.Very handy item.
