Hi

does anyone know what thread the rear subframe to heelboard bolts are please? My local bolts place thought they cut their own thread when I showed them, but they were really rusty. if I could tell them what they are it might help.

thanks, James.

5/16" unf. The original bolts have a groove round them. Use stainless steel if you can get them

I seriously doubt it!

The ones I took out had the groove, I think that's why the guy was unsure! Thanks for the quick reply, I'll get some stainless! :).

Thanks, James.

The heel board is original, so should be 5/16. Whatever bolts I use will be nicely coated in copper grease :).
