I recon Chris is right.

Pat, if you manage to find some, let me know


Avoneer - 15/3/06 at 09:45 PM

M7 - that's what I meant .

Chris, where did you get 8mm by 8mm studs from?

Gav, will let you know and get you some as well - oh, also got a Cat you can borrow for SVA - see my post in Engines & Transmission.

Cheers,

Buy a length of 8mm threaded bar and cut your own, it's only about 75p a metre at our bolt shop. Lock two nuts together to install them. put a nut on before you cut it then dress the end thread before you take the nut off and it will clean it up as you remove it.

Aaahhh, never knew they were normal 8mm into the block.

Will get some normal studs and normal nuts (and extras for Gav).
