qwakers Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 cant be m10. a m10 bolt's as big as my thumb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 No, I think he's right, M10 but a fine pitch, 1.00mm I think without looking when I get home. I've only ever known 3/8" UNF or M10, and I think there's a few M12 fittings on master cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackleton Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 ...but on the other hand, I have another example. The sealing washer on the coolant drain (Td5). It's just a dowty, but it's impossible to find the size - I destroyed mine while trying to anneal it with a torch (yes I thought it was a copper job). I could buy 10x for the price the indie's charge for one, even though it is just a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
