I couldn't find them on > McMaster-Carrs and my Google searches are coming up blank I have fitted EGT-sensors on my 914, but I still have the original plug bolts. I can't think of a reason why I would take out the EGT-sensors again, so I have no problem giving you the original bolts. Do you need all four of them? Send me your address, and I will drop them in the mail. Frans ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:43:03 AM PST US From: "Michael Grass" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Exhaust port bolts for 914 Gilles, Have a look at the DIN standards DIN960 and DIN961. (OK, there are likely replaced by ISO or IEC Standards but I have no reference numbers for them in the moment) You are correct that a regular M8 would have a pitch of 1.25mm. However, you can get them also with a pitch of 1mm. I highlighted it by using the common phrase "fine threaded ". Fine threaded metric bolts are available from M8 upwards. This "fine threaded " Metric bolts are not very common and this is why Paul has such a hard time finding them. I do not have access to the DIN960/961 and have my (German) mechanical reference book at work but I believe an M8 bolt with only 6mm length regardless of the pitch is none standard because in my opinion it makes mechanically little sense to have a bolt shorter in length then its diameter because the standard purpose of a bolt is being a fastener and not a plug for a hole. Also I have not found "fine threaded " M8 bolts in Stainless Steel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gilles Thesee" Sent: 2010-08-18 04:36 Subject: Re: Europa-List: Exhaust port bolts for 914 > > > Michael Grass a crit : >> the manual calls for M8 * 6mm with fine threaded pitch of 1 mm > Michael and all, > > I did not follow this thread too closely, but for what it's worth an M8 > bolt diameter is 8 mm, and the pitch is 1.25 mm. > > Best regards, > -- > Gilles > http://contrails.free.fr > > > ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:54:38 AM PST US From: "G-IANI" Subject: Europa-List: FW: Lydeway Annual Fly-in/BBQ Nigel still has a few places left.
