Hi peeps Anyone know what size screws are need for.... Sliding door track cover and matching trim on other side. Held on by two Machine screws or bolts and locking washers ? Rear Brake drum should have two bolts holding it on. Looks like 12mm long but thread ? Bulkhead in front of tank. Self tappers and washers ? Lenght looks like 12mm but thread ? M8 ? Many thanks
For bolt sizes, just measure the outer diameter of the thread in mm eg 8mm=M8. Threads may have differing pitches, tho' For self tappers, just buy a set for about a tenner. It'll contain all the sizes used in your bus. I believe self tapper sizes are the same as woodscrews ie not metric.
Thanks Snotty. For the Brake drum I can measure the thread as I have 3 of the 4 required, but the trims seems to be held on by 1 screw each, which do not look right. Should they be Self Tappers or something else ?
The rear brake drum bolts are if I remember correct M6, You don't nee them though as once the wheel is on they do nothing
I think the drum ones are a funny size. They were discontinued at some point. If you have alloy wheels you can't fit them. I wouldn't worry one's missing unless it's going to nag at you, the wheel should hold the drum in place quite well.
As said above you need a selection of self tappers for where they've been used previously, then you can trial and error the size. When you fit the firewall panel, there are two screws from underneath - do these up tight to pull the panel down onto it's foam seal before you tighten the 3 at each side.
