Good evening, I am the proud owner of a scottish, 48 years old, Serie II, now retired in Brittany Spring blades, exhaust pipe and manifold has to be changed one year ago... Only one thing went wrong: "axles" linking the blades to the body has to be cut off to remove them easely as they were severely rusted: the pb is they are not from the "standard" size. (a bit thinner in fact). Do you know what are their exact size and thread? Can we reach a provider in for such items in UK?



Thanks a lot



Bonne soirée à toutes et tous! Yves

If they are the earlier ones with the coarser thread and with the thread thinner than the bolt shank, I've got some new old stock or I can give you the part numbers if you can obtain them locally. If not I can post to France.

If you send me an e-mail I will send you the pages from the Parts Book. This will help you discuss which bits you need with Martin.

Thanks a lot for Oily and Dougal for your proposal.

My mail is yves dot le-corfec at wanadoo.fr If we can get in touch and If you can give me the measures I will then contact the garage mechanic and he will quickly confirm me that it should work. I guess the cut pieces were discarded, it was then not seen as a potential problema but now we must "guess" what the size is... And the 4 last times the bolts imported from UK by Belgium to Britanny were not adequate! Thanks a lot for your help!

I don't know if I've missed something here but, are we talking about the spring anchor or shackle pins?. If so, Series 2 up to vehicle suffix A are

1/2" BSF and from suffix B onwards they are 9/16" UNF. I have both types. Martin.

I guess I am looking for the 1/2 inch BSF type! What would is the price for the 8 parts?

(There will be a bottle a Laurent Perrier Champagne to enjoy with friends and family if I can drive my car this summer!) Thanks a lot!

Bon SoirYves, I'm still not sure of the parts you need. Can I scan a picture from the parts book to your e-mail address then you reply with the numbers you want?
