Front damper mounting …

Hello,
Can someone kindly tell me what diameter and thread the four mounting internal threads are for the front dampers ?
Also am I correct to assume that there is simply a single captive plate welded behind with actually six threaded holes in ? (4 for the damper, plus unused 2)
Kind regards.

Someone else will be along soon, I hope, about the damper bolt dimensions but you are correct about there being a captive plate behind each damper. How many holes it has I don't know but there are certainly at least four to take the bolts. I don't see why there would be six holes?

The damper mount holes x4 are 5/16" BSF, the same as the wing bolts and the 2x extra unused holes each side are the same thread and diameter.

The additional hole were for the early Luvax dampers originally fitted to the Minor.
The round hole in the flitch plate/bracket is a left over from back then and was required to accommodate the horizontal body/pistons of the Luvax damper.
