Propshaft to Diff bolts...
Just tell me,
What *$%%&^(! Size are they?
I'm assuming whitworth - which would be nice since my whitworth collection is rather small...
Taken the exhaust and fule lines off and thought I'd tackle it as it's a nice day and the car is already on axle stands...
*Grumbles and goes to do something else on the car*
See - I'm working on her *now* so yell if you know the answer!
Frustrated of Bristol

Ah yes, the unwritten commandment:
Thou shouldst replace, at every opportunity, bolts with heads different to the ones thy is replacing...

5/16" BSF. 1/4" is too small and Whitworth thread too coarse.
5/16" UNF will also fit nicely (1/2" A/F spanner)
M8 foreign equivalent (13mm spanner size) don't know how they would be in the hole though?

?1/4" is too small
1/4" Whitworth spanner fits perfectly if they are the originals.
However if they've been replaced they could be a mixture of anything.

Yes, I just need to get the *#$&! off ;)
Still, I have plenty of time to regroup. I'm not going to be able to work on the car now until mid-June...

Oh well, differing opinions and interpretations on the English language.
Handbags at dawn then!! Or at the Potteries rally Cam? I've paid my fiver, hopefully I can find it this year.
Re the diff flange/propshaft bolts - the spare set (originals) I have would indicate they are non standard in both length and length of threaded portion, maybe made specially for purpose at the time?
