Bumper nut thread
Hi,
Does anyone know what thread the nuts for fixing the bumpers on are? None of the suppliers have them in stock at the moment and their websites don't quote the thread size!
Thanks,
Philip

Re: Bumper nut thread
I was curious myself after reading your thread and just unbolted one rear bumper nut and tried it with a tap - it is 1/2 BSF, 16tpi. (The flats are 7/16 Whitworth spanner).
Try Namrick. http://www.namrick.co.uk/acatalog/Home_ ... uts_2.html

Re: Bumper nut thread
That's great Maybe we need a sticky with nut and bolt sizes to go with the spanner size one

Re: Bumper nut thread
They are the same size as the wheel nuts. I found this out when I took the bumper off and one of the nuts was a wheel nut.

Re: Bumper nut thread
" They are the same size as the wheel nuts " - not normally! Wheel studs are 3/8" UNF thread on any Minor I have dealt with! CJ has confirmed the bumper nuts are 1/2" BSF thread - on his car at least!

I think Jollyroger was refering to the bumper coach bolt nuts and not the main bumper iron fixing nuts.
The original post is not clear on which nuts refered to - but he now has details of both

Re: Bumper nut thread
I did think the original poster meant the two nuts that hold the bumper assembly to the bumper irons!!! Sorry if I mislead anyone by my good intention!
That is what it looked like from this sentence :- "Does anyone know what thread the nuts for fixing the bumpers on are?"
To the original poster- please clarify!!
And to deepen the mystery, the chrome nuts that hold the chrome dome headed bolts that fix chrome bumper blade to bumper valance to bumper mounting spring are 5/16BSF thread with 1/4 Witworth hexagon (spanner) size. So how could you use a wheel nut to hold these on?

Re: Bumper nut thread
Definitely asking about the big nuts that hold the entire bumper to the body as opposed to any of the other ones which hold the bumper parts together! All the more reason to have a sticky

Re: Bumper nut thread
In that case those are definitely 1/2BSF nuts. I don't understand how someone got a wheel nut holding theirs on, unless a previous owner, unaware that 1/2 BSF nuts are available for about 50p each from Namrick, drilled out a wheel nut an tapped a 1/2 BSF thread into the nut???

Re: Bumper nut thread
The big nuts were the ones I was talking about.
Definitely a wheel nut.

Do you mean a wheel hub nut?
I think that one side is RH thread 1/2"BSF?

No way is a rear bumper mounting nut the same as a wheel nut. I will take some pics tomorrow as proof!
