I dont suppose anyone has a list of the bolt sizes on a mini and their place in the build eg: rear subframe mount thread/length etc
I have a feeling I may have already asked this in the past but could be having a senior moment!
I need to buy every nut and bolt for this project as the shell I got was totally stripped.

Just use the sellers web pages. MiniSpares/Somerford. And your workshop manual. There are kits out there but I don’t think I would trust the quality of some.

I cant find any thread/bolt sizes in my haynes manual which was a surprise.

A spreadsheet with all the info on nuts,bolts and where they go would be a great asset when doing a complete rebuild.
I'm in exactly the same position.

Trying to think ahead and work out what and where they are required is quite a game...
The amount wasted on postage when you realise you've missed some out...!!

There is a similar spreadsheet for all the torque settings.
Whoever did that, can I say 'thank you'

The Torque servings is just taken from the workshop manual you should already have.

I use Minispares and Somerford's websites to tell me what size, length and thread type each bolt is supposed to be.

This goes for the smaller screw/self tapper items as well.

They don't always have the correct length so I'll buy slightly longer and cut them down to the right size.

As mentioned use Minispares as their breakdown drawings show where they all go.

It might be a faff getting the names right and also make sure you get the year correct especially pre 76 for the front subframe etc.

Namrick is a good supplier of any hardware you may additionally need.

It's a workshop manual, not a parts book, so they generally list few bolt sizes.
