Radiator fixing bolts thread size

Post by jagnut66 »

Hi,
Well, today I finally came to putting my Series 2's radiator back in and guess what.....
Yep, I can't find the blasted radiator fixing bolts anywhere.
I thought I screwed them into the sides of the rad but clearly not.....
And unlike others before them, they don't appear to be in a labelled bag anywhere.......
My stash of nuts, bolts etc., has drawn a blank too. The closest I have wind in so far then lock up.
So I guess I'm going to have to buy some replacements, which is where I run into a slight obstacle, my usual go to for such things, ESM, only seems to stock the metric ones for repro rads.
Therefore my question is, before I go any further, what thread size should I be looking for?
Thanks and best wishes,
Mike.
