Hi - Despite putting in plugs I still managed to some paint in the threads, therefore I will have to tap them out and as TVR seemed to like a mixture of weird and normal threads - UNF & metric Im not sure what they may be.



Thanks in advance for any advice.

Pretty sure they are 7/16 UNF.

Yep, 7/16-UNF, although those outer ones look as if they have been replaced at some point so just check the bolts that came out are the same size as the inners.

If you don't have a tap just file/grind a couple of flutes in one of the old bolts, with a bit of care it will be just fine for cleaning out paint.

Cheers Chris and Ken - thanks for the info, good point about the ones on the outriggers, I have got the body covered at the moment and the bolts are in the body, Im going to get in there and take them out.

Best Regards
