#1 Armrest bolts

Post by meeka » Sun May 28, 2023 3:12 am

A "small" question!
I have to acquire bolts for the armrests in my 1968 series 1.5 2+2.
I can purchase them from Moss Motors at 1.99 each, but the postage to New Zealand is 18.99. I'll pay that high postage cost if I have to but I could certainly purchase them locally if I knew the dimensions - but unfortunately I cannot access a sample.
Can anyone let me know the gauge, length and thread count so that I can track some down?
Thanks
Graham

Do yourself a favour and use either a Philips head or hex head screw.

The original is slotted and this is very hard to access.

From memory I think you're looking at a 3/16" UNF thread.
