Bolts?

[bhpjon]

I am looking to find a supplier of the long bolts that go through the rear chassis and the diff bush and then back through the chassis again,any ideas please? cheers bhpjon

Either www.namrick.co.uk and look for 5" long 7/16" UNF, but for the price you'll be dissapointed when they're not gold plated.

Alternatively contact Steve Heath (shpub).

Iain

How much of the bolts length is threaded?

Only about the last inch and a half from memory, the rest is a shoulder hope this is some help!

No luck sorry Jon,i tried our local Fastener specialist who usually has,or is able to get just about anything,but no joy

Does this screw into a part or is it retained with a nut?
If it is just a long nut and bolt? you could use a length of studding and
two nuts.
If this is an option ensure you buy / use 12.9 grade steel(High tensile)

I had thought of that but i wasn't sure whether they did threaded bar in high tensile, and also the effect (if any) of not being shouldered for the greatest part? Sorry forgot to mention it just has a nut on the end, having thought about it i might be able to put a locking nut on the end of the dead thread as one option?
