Andrew welded bosses in the tailgate for the pins so I bought some but it turns out they are m10x1.25 and the bosses Andrew welded in are standard m10x1.5 thread,

I know you can get them in that thread size but can only find the areocatch kits and I just want a cheap bonnet pin set

Thanks
Marc

 

rethread the boss they arent under that much stress

 

speak to fudge as he as just wrote his motor off and that has aerocatch

 

I can't re thread an m10x1.5 to a finer thread size of m10x1.25! It a tube/boss so doesn't have the thickness to be drilled bigger and re tapped for a helicoil or do you mean re cut the pin to 1.5 pitch

As far as I read fudge was keeping his car if he had th opportunity to buy it back, not break it up Ginge?

Anyone else???

 

In a tap and die set it's the die that is used to re cut the thread isn't it?

Thanks
Marc

 

I may have the old bumper securing ones off Shonkey Ver 1.0 down the workshop Marc, I'll check tomorrow morning

 

Thanks Richie that would be great, as I have the rest of the bits just need the 2 threaded pins

 

Rethreading is properly bodge. And u can only rethread a fine thread to a coarse. Not the other way round.

 

marc, whats your address mate?

i have a spare set of the pins, uncut etc brand new!

 

ps i will be breaking when the insurance is settled lol

 

pm on its way mate

 

done

 

Thanks Dan
