Hi,

Im currently rebuilding the front suspension on my '86 mini saloon. Ive renewed everything, shocks, bearings, bushes, arms tie rods etc. Its all looking quite nice apart from crappy rusted nuts and washers!

One area is currently evading me, which is nut/washer sizes. I need to order some but im a bit puzzled.

Can anyone tell me the correct sizes of these please:-

1) The NUT & Washer for the lower suspension arm pivot pin.
2) The NUT & Washer that hold the front shockers in place.

Ive had a good look on the Minispares website but cant seem to find them, my local hardware store cant help either as he reckons that they are special threads or something.

Cheers,

Mike

Special thread?

Your shop be talking cobblers, COBBLERS I SAY!

Their just UNF Imperial threads (well, thats what I ask for at my nut and bolt shop). Sadly ... oh wait. I might know the shock one.

*searches*

Damn, can't find it. Sorry.

Look in the Moss online pdf catalogue - fastener sizes are near the back once you have the part number.
