Frax Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi can anyone tell me what thread the two bolts are that hold on the bottom spring retaining plate. Regards Frax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Pretty sure they're M10s. Edit: Microcat says M10x30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes M10. I know because three out of the four on the back of my 110 snapped off when I changed the axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yup, a few years ago when I worked on my rear axle, they mostly snapped off. I took a chisel to the captive nuts and now just use normal nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've never seen one with captive nuts, only ever nuts and bolts...........! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frax Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well just an update for you all, I ordered M10 X 30 and well they did not fit, Turns out that mine were UNF but being at a loss to find any local I drilled them out and fitted the M10 x 30 with lock nuts.

potato head Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 From memory 3/8 unf as I required some myself last year. Spoke to Craddocks about it and they swore blind that they were m10 and didn't believe me when I said unf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frax Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well they were defiantly UNF as they had one bolt left which I was given and it was a perfect fit. The 10M was about 1/2mm to big. I also found out that there is more than one metric fine which I did not know. It may depend on age of vehicle but I would not think so.
