Hi Alan,

I think I've got one - I'll try to check tomorrow. LDparts seem to still offer them but, as you probably know, they're closed at the moment.

Hi again Alan,

I think I'd take Dave's definite offer rather than rely on me possibly finding one !

Cheers

Hello Richard,

This is exactly what I think and what my experiences were! Honestly: a great bunch of nice and very helpful people!

So please carry on like this everybody!

Kind regards,

Alan I have plenty of UNC or UNF bolts at work I cannot remember if that one has a special shoulder length etc if you or anybody has the length spec etc I can make or adapt one to spec and pop it in the post to you let me know.

Thanks Guys,

what can i say, you are all really great, i have accepted Dave's very kind offer, thanks again Dave. i knew you would sort me out guys, i did try LD first, then noticed they were closed.

again a very big thank you

i have a feeling it has snapped off at some point so it's a bigger job than it looks, i'm thinking of the worst, drill out re-tap etc on the spider

thanks guys love the forum and the people on it

The bolts are high tensile and the originals have a long shank and short thread. I replaced mine a couple of years ago and bought the replacements from LD part. They are the nearest currently available and are high tensile bolts, but have a standard thread length. They have caused me no problems.

I should have the ones I took off knocking around somewhere. If Dave can't find his let me know!

can i just say guys thanks for all the help, it really helps to know the backing i get , from the forum, and its worth it, every penny

cheers
