big end studs and nuts

[Not Happy Jan]

I've been trying to locate some big end studs. I've tried as SBC and Rocket industries. Does anyone know where I can get some?

[Harv]

Are you after some standard grey motor conrod big end bolts (the ones with a flat head that press in)?

I've got plenty of used ones you are welcome to.

Thanks Harv,
that might be an option.
The threads on mine are stretched. How many have you got?

[Harv]

You don't want to know  ::).

... I stripped down six crusty engines to find a virgin, uncracked crank for my Meth Monster project.

Let me know how many you need and I'll dig them out and throw them into the post.

Cheers,

Quick question. I found my stash of conrods, and thought I had better check before I start pressing studs out. How do you measure bolt/thread stretch in these, and what is the spec? I had a look-see through the Workshop manual and a couple of Repco refinishing manuals, but couldn't find any guidance. Figured it would be just my luck to send you a dozen shagged bolts.

hi Harv
The only way I could tell is when I was installing them. either the thread would grab or slip.

[Harv]

OK. Will pull some out this weekend and get them into the post for you.

Thanks Mate.

Maybe you can make a heavy wall spacer tube with the length of the contact length of the conrod pieces & torque the bolts & nuts up in a vyce. Cheers John
