Car Forum / MINI / January 2005Thread size question - door handle mount x3 and binnacle x6.
Hey all, Long time no post - just not neough time to peruse the usenet I'm afraid - but hopefully you can all forgive me and help me out with a thread size quandry I have. I need to find what the thread size/pitch for the 3x screws that hold each internal door actuator thingy on, and the same thing for the things that hold the binnacle (thing with the speedo/oil pressue/water temp in it) onto the bulkhead. Anyone have any ideas? Or even know a source for them in NZ/AUS/UK? (In that order of preference). Cheers, Stuart > Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Cheers, > Stuart Hi, It sounds like you have the early Mini with the sliding windows? If so, then the screws you need should be 3/16" UNF. The door lock ones will be about 1 1/4 inch long. The speedo housing screws are the same size but shorter. Hope this helps Keith > Hi, > It sounds like you have the early Mini with the sliding windows?

Email stevestainless2@aol.com and ask him. He does mail order and they won't weigh a lot. No connection. John I concur with John as to the size. I supply these and other Stainless fixings for the mini ( but please dont treat this as an advert). If you get stuck drop me a line - i will post anywhere!

There has never been a problem with flogging mini related wares in a.a.m so don't worry. The Muffin Man >I concur with John as to the size.

Couldn't find an air filter though :\ Thanks for the help guys. > Hi, > It sounds like you have the early Mini with the sliding windows? > If so, then the screws you need should be 3/16" UNF. > The door lock ones will be about 1 1/4 inch long.

Managed to find a wreck that still had it's doors and scavenge the screws from that. Now all I need are the ones for the binnacle. s. |
