ronnie_rotten Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I've just started replacing the rotten body cappings on the 110 with galvanised ones and some of the fixings to hold the roof on are shot. What is the correct term for yhe gold double ended bolt things with the round plate in the middle? I'm normally quite good at guessing what to type into ebay but this time I'm having no joy...

ronnie_rotten Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I am indeed! Stud bolts. Of course they are. 5 quid plus postage though? I think I feel a little fabrication coming on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie_rotten Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 It turns out that paddocks have them at a slightly more acceptable price. Thank you for the part number tacr2man. Does anyone else find paddock ' s search by description function rubbish? I'm sure there are items they have for sale that are impossible to find without using the part number, no matter how much you browse the site.

Mo Murphy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I agree Ash, I usually Google search until I find the number and then put the number in to paddocks search engine. It's difficult to find parts by their description. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Be careful, mixing and matching, I found that you can get metric versions of these and there is also an imperial version too... I'm afraid I don't know what the part numbers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I have found long and short versions of these also on my LR travels. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie_rotten Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 The body cappings I'm removing have short tubes in the corners which take the fixings or tilt poles (depending on what body is fitted) and the new (well, old galvanised) ones are probably 3 times as deep. I'm wondering now if there would be any problem with just using a long bolt from the bottom up with a washer welded in the middle to keep it central. As far as I can tell that is essentially what this fancy stub bolt thing is. I don't really see what advantage there is to the proper bolt, other than when popping to roof off for a sunny day the bolt stays in situ so it doesn't get lost when you come to refit. Any thoughts on using generic (tensile) fixings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
