Silly question really but i have managed to lose my original A+ 1275 engine inner rocker shaft pedestal nuts and the ones i have seem to be a little loose on the studs !

What type and size should they be ? 13mm ? The only ones i could get my hands on in the garage seem to be UNF i think i purchased them for the rest of the car as its a mk1 but i assume my later engine should be metric ? Washer or built into nut type like head nuts?

I have all the head bolts in place but cant torque them down until i get these sorted, i have attempted to locate them on the minispares site but no joy   Please help ...

They wont be metric.

 

Very little on a mini is metric as standard. There's something stupid like one of the brake line connections, but that's it

Try typing 'head' on minispares website and go on the manual pages tab.

LOL so its just a plain nut and washer set up, nothing fancy !

 

I searched for rocker pedestal nut ooops

 

I will measure the ones i have to confirm they are the same size, it was just the wiggle/play in them that got me spooked .

 

Thanks guys

They are plain 5/16 UNF nut, but should be using a decent spec material.

Yes, a plain good quality 5/16" UNF nut

A conrod splined nut does if you need fancy, i.e. roller tip rockers.
