Hello ,
Wonder if Anyone might be able to inform Me the diameter and length of the centre fixing bolt for My 1955/56 swinging arm frame A10 please ?
Should this bolt also have a reduced head ?
I am struggling forcing the rubber bung deep enough to get the thread to start and am hoping to be able to find a slightly longer bolt ?
Thank You in advance ,
Steve..
Hi,
You should be able to get the proper bolt. Have a google, there plenty on ebay.
Dave.
Thank You Dave ,
I have 2 already but had been trying to establish diameter and thread to source a longer than standard bolt to cut down .
Only needs to be 1/4" longer to catch the threads in the nut .
Hi,
Do you have the correct nut? It has a bit of a sleeve to go through the top washer which makes it about a 1/4" deeper than a standard nut.
Dave.
Dave ,
Its a possibility that the nut has been replaced ?
Its a standard nut on My frame .
Ive just cut about 1/4" from the rubber bung and it now fastens ..
Hi,
More than likely but as long as it now fits and is secure.
Dave.
You are aware that their is a threaded sleeve insert in the top of the frame that the tank bolt screws into?
Part no 42-4078
