Sheared Bolt Advice Please!


Best Answer MatMini , 09 May 2020 - 08:52 AM

Upadte folks-

 

Got round to sorting the adjuster pulley bolt, & unfortunately the MG/Rover part doesn't fit (I dare say it would if you get it machined)

 

But the original Mini part I sourced on eBay fitted fine, like for like.

 

See attached pic of the MG/Rover part WAM3718

 

Also fitted a new drivers window regulator while I was at it so all up & running.

 

So it looks like second hand is the only way to go if your daft like me & shear the bolt, unless you get one made/modified.

 

Cheers for all the advice.

I have purchased a number of items from him. Just make sure the adjuster is loose and turns freely. It would not hurt to have a spare pulley tensioner for that price.

Just tried to buy it & its gone!

 

I suppose it was a bit daft of me to post a link to a hard to find Mini component on a Mini forum.

 

Hey ho, lets hope the Rover part fits!

It won't be any consolation to you, but I missed it too.  It wasn't there long after you told us about it.

Send him a message. He usually gets items on a regular basis, he may have another just not listed yet.

I did just that mate, & he sorted me one out.

 

Seems like a decent chap
