Title: What is the right size bolt.. Post by: Laszlo on June 08, 2021, 09:22:11 PM .... for a boot emblem ?
In the bolt and nut shop they tried to tell me I need a 12/24. Wasn't the right one. I did try a metric 4, not too bad but not perfect. A little bit loose. Maybe just the age of the emblem and a rechroming.....

That was quick. Laszlo Title: Re: What is the right size bolt.. Post by: my8thholden on June 09, 2021, 07:57:47 AM check to see if somewhere in its life the thread hasn't been damaged or brutalised to make something fit ,or clogged with chrome ,carefully use a 24TPI tap to clean up...cheers Vern

I started to change all the bolts ,screws and nuts for stainless steel one. So if someone has to take the Fe a part 60 years time no rusty surprises..... : ) Cheers : Laszlo Title: Re: What is the right size bolt.. Post by: ardiesse on June 09, 2021, 10:09:04 AM Laszlo,
3/16" Whitworth is also 24 TPI. OK, so the thread profile's slightly different, but it will substitute for 10-24 UNC no problem. Rob Title: Re: What is the right size bolt.. Post by: Laszlo on June 09, 2021, 10:39:29 AM Thanks Rob !
I did find some 10-24UNC stainless steel 304 or the good stuff 316 at Anzor(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210609/7f111e19ef697f3384fb2e58e705e5f2.jpg) Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk |
