Lewis Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Can anyone tell me what thread it is at the top of the steering shaft above the splines - the threads on the shaft on my 90 need re-cutting to repair them and i cant seem to find a suitable die Many thanks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 i dont know the thread but there is two different threads AFAIK depending how old the 90 is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I just looked on microcat, and it shows the nut being "14mm metric"... whether that covers both types i dunno. edited: up to VIN MA962814 it's 1/2" UNF, and from MA962815 onwards it's M14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 ah, maybe the thread is the same and the splines vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
