Chambers Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Ive just put the Diff back on my Spit 1500 but to bolt the flanges to the drive shaft/prop shaft I need some new bolts. Can someone tell me the size and length of the bolts (not including the head) Also are yours just regular nuts with no washers? This is what I took off so just wanted to checkThanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS211083 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Bolts should be shouldered so flange can't turn, nuts should be nyloc type. Always replace the nyloc, don't know length.Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 1/2" AF....5/16" dia,x 1"shoulder bolts, black not plated plus 1/2" af nylocs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Isn't a 1500 Spitfire 3/8" UNF? Same as the GT6 & Vitesse.Correct, no washers.ps rule of thumb, if its a 1/2" AF Spanner its 5/16", if its a 9/16" AF Spanner its 3/8". Most Triumph stuff is UNF even some things which should be UNC ??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yep, late spit is indeed 3/8unf, length less head 24mm or so, and the unthreaded portion is 9mm. Nylocs must be used, the original type are a tad thinner than the normal type, but not too important. The specialists should be able to supply all from stock. If buying locally, make sure the bolts are hardened to 8.8 or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
