measure the outside dia of the bolt, and minus 1 to 2 mm.

Christian and Beccy May 6, 2005 08:53 AM

The shank measurement of the stud is 13.1mm. I think I used 12.9mm, but might have been 12.7mm. :?

I will go see if I can find the Drill bit.

If your drilling then tapping the hub, you drill to the the size of the stud on the dia, minus the depth of the thread, i.e.

M20 bolt has a 2.5mm pitch, which has a 1.5mm deep thread, so you use a 17mm drill. If that makes sense. :top:

Christian and Beccy, Thanks mate, knowing my luck - i'd drill the hole and the stud would fall out :cry:

churchy, No tapping needed mate. I was in your neck of the woods last weekend - Caister Soul Weekender at the Vauxhall Holiday Park :clap:

Christian and Beccy May 6, 2005 11:29 AM

From memory, I bought 12.7 and 12.9 to be safe. Might be worth doing that and trying the 12.7 first.

I livr right next door the the camp, I throw all my rubbish at the caravans the other side of the fence :DD:
Should have taken a walk towards the centurian pub and turned off down a little path on the same side of the road, head towards the beach and you'd have found me :content:

Christian and Beccy May 6, 2005 12:36 PM
