Tap sizes for captive plate behind A post

Post by **patsy582c** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 10:28 am

Hi, i'm new to all this & have just bought a four door saloon and am currently fitting some better doors. However some of the studs in the A post have snapped, could anyone tell me the correct tap size??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Patsy,

from memory they are 5\16" BSF. I suggest you order some replacement bolts and check with the supplier.

Hi Alec thanks for the advise will try the tap and new bolts the weekend.

If I remember correctly the front shocker mounting bolts are the same thread but obviously longer as they can be used to stop the plate in the A post from falling from position if they retaining lugs have gone as they often do.
