matwood Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 so i finally found an L20B for my 521. I'm gonna rebuild it. i need to go down to the hardware store at some point today and get bolts to put my L20B on it's stand. what size are the bolts that hold the engine and transmission together? that's my dumb question for the day! pictures to come as promised! thanks, Madison Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 14mm Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Shoot man i just went and got some for mine, try and find a bolt that fits before you go. I thought they were M8 or M10, 1.25 pitch. ***edit I just went and measured the width of the bolt diameter, it is exactly 3/8'th inch thick. Not the head, but the actual bolt. When you get to the hardware store measure if you need to Edited August 17, 2009 by h2theizzo Quote Link to comment
matwood Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 i know that they are 14mm head. im thinking M10, but im not sure.... don't wanna make 3 trips across town instead of just 1. : just trying to get a heads up... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 well they are 3/8th inch thick bolt size so when you get there have them get out a tape measure. ... :D Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 well they are 3/8th inch thick bolt size so when you get there have them get out a tape measure. ... :D Yes, they are very close to 3/8", but we all know that they are metric.:D And 3/8" is just a hair smaller than 10mm. However, i am not sure what thread pitch they are. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I do know they're the same size as the head bolts... because I use used head bolts on my engine stands. NAPS-Z ones work great. Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I use head bolts as well 10x1.5 Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 lol looks like you added a bit more info since my answer. I used M10x1.50, 3" long, the bottom 2 were fine since the threads go all the way through, the top 2 I had to use some washers. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 i got ones that were to long also, but i had a buncha spare washers so i just used those ill get the right size ones next time Quote Link to comment
matwood Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 picked some up that day... M8's x 2.75. would have worked like a charm but they were too small. haha.... used some threaded rod I had laying around and some nuts to make some makeshift bolts. haha. :) got some pictures, just not on the computer yet. motor won't turn over via the crank pulley, though.. : kinda worries me but oh well, i'll keep my fingers crossed. later on then... -madison Quote Link to comment
