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.

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.
