type 9 housing bolts
goaty - 7/2/10 at 11:20 AM

hi,
can anyone help me.....
I was about to bolt a bellhousing to my type 9 as its my run in gearbox, but i have found the standard bolts that are for bolting it to the Gbox are too short.
Anyone know where i can get longer ones as they are nto standard metric thread by the looks, seems finer.
thansk in advance
joe

Type 9 box bolts are either standard M12 or are 1/2" UNF if I remember rightly.

Standard M12's, easy to get from any fastener place.

Get yourself a set of threads gauges (£3 or £4 ) and measure the bolts you have . Likely to be 12mm x1.5?

definitly metric 12mm
put some in mine this morning

Mmm I'm sure mine were 12mm fine pitch and a bugger to find locally. There is a guy on ebay flogs them
Ask him if he can supply the length you need.

a friend can measure it for me, i am hoping to see him 2mo, but it definetly a fine thread bolt.
i will put up 2mo if i see him.
cheers
