Hardy Spicer Output Flange Large Bolt and washer Dimensions
Turbo Mini Forums

Can any one help. I am looking for the dimensions of the large shoulder bolt and washer that retains the hardy spicer output flange onto the diff output shaft. I am primadally after the length of the threaded portion, and, the length and diameter of the shoulder under the head of the bolt. Also the OD, ID and thickness of the big washer.

I swear blind that Somerford Minis had these, but they are out of stock, Minispares dont list them and Moss are just useless. I intend to get a bush and washer made up to replicate the original bolt with just an ordinary bolt. I have been using an ordinary bolt and radius arm thrust washer, but its not ideal. I need to get this sorted, as they have been weeping oil.

Thanks

Sprox :)

iv'e just taken a nut and washer off a box i have , the nut is the same as the rear hub retainer, IE 5/8unf slot nut, and the washer looks similar and is 1.250" OD 0.650" ID and 0.125"" thick,
but from your description what i have may be none origional,


if they are weeping oil it may be because they are nearly 50 years old and will be pitted on the lip seal joint, even with new seals they will start weeping quite quickly.

Carl, the Hardy spicer is a bolt, the nuts are for the rubber yokes.

The seals were new last year, but like any new rubber, its probibly shite. The small rubber boot - perrished, new last year. The selector shaft rubber boot - perrished, new last year. Uprated rubber tie bar bushes - perished, new last year. top and bottom side mount radiator bushes - perished, new last year. I have not checked anything else yet, but I won't hold my hopes up, that anything else won't be cracked and split!!

the Hardy spicer is a bolt, the nuts are for the rubber yokes.

youv'e lost me now,

Oh, and to add, the rubber yoke output SHAFT is of a similar design to the pot joint shaft in that it narrows after the splines and before the bush journal, where as, the hardy spicer shaft is has the same girth along its length

so you're using the auto hady spicer outputs, sorry can't help.

Sorry Sprocket ,
I don't has a 1inch socket to take the bugger out. I'll get one over the next week. Can anyone else help ?

my sets are on the car, so I can not help, sorry.

I am not sure Vegard have got many of these either....

I'm afraid all of the ones I've got are hidden between HS joints.
I'll have a look, but I'm not sure.

Couldn't you buy one from Minispares?

Vegard, the part number in that link for the bolt relates to the seal and NOT the bolt, so either the description is wrong or the part number is. I will phone them, but I reckon its going to be the right part number and the wrong description, considering no one anywhere actualy lists the bolts other than Somerfords.

The description says it is the seal (for the output bolt).

lol thats the human brain for you, for what ever reason, I never read that bit

Are these the parts you need measured?
