Anyone know where i can get my hands on some M7x16 bolts??

Tried EVERYWHERE needed ASAP!!!!!

 

[BigBoreBri]

M7... ?

You sure its not an imperial bolt?

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope 100% sure its an M7 (its for the flywheel on a 172, they hold the clutch plate onto the flywheel)

M7 = 0.27599inch i think

part number = 77 03 101 309

M7-100 -16

 

[BigBoreBri]

Best bet would be from renault then... Seen M7s before but its like why i ask u... why?

Could be this part number but check before you order

77 03 101 309 SCREW M7X100 - 16

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah that is the part number (see above!)

problem is i need them tomorrow morning

Renault have said "erm there special order mate"

FFS they only cost £0.55each!!

 

[BigBoreBri]

Ahh... excuse my stupidity!

Could be a few engineering places near you that might have some but with a size like that getting em for 2morrow morning could be doubtfull, if your that desperate mate is tapping the M7 holes up to M8 a viable option? then opening up the holes on the clutch plate to 8mm??

 

[Turkish]

any local engineering companies/fabricators near you fred ? might have the size you need

 

[Fred@BTM]

no, not an option!!!

problem is that the flywheel/clutch/box exploded and has basically ripped the holes the M7s go into apart and taken the teeth on the flywhell with it!!!!!

got a new box/fly/clutch just need THESE 6 SODDING BOLTS!!!!!!!

if i enlarge the holes it may weaken the edge of the flywheel, hence itll go bang again!!!

 

[MaLicE]

i got some similar i think, from a local bolt shop, they made them up for me to the size i wanted....

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Hey where are you based mate, i got some

 

[Fred@BTM]

im in birmingham mike, IIRC your down in portsmouth!!!

 

[edde]

Hummm can we all guess what your new mod is?

Nice one not going for the obvious answer for massive power increases

 

[Fred@BTM]

its not for my car, 172s are slow!!! my engine is something "special" LOL



Its for my mates 172, he blew the box on the weekend
