Chaps,

Does anyone know what the thread size and length is for the two bolts that hold the fuel tank in from the top please?

Thanks,

Oh. I want to replace the current ones with polished stainless steel ones. Any purists will critisise I'm sure. Hence needing to know the actual thread dimensions.

Thanks though Wally, I can always call John at M-Parts if I don't find out otherwise.

They look like 1/4" UNF about 3/4" long. Hope that helps.

Dear Chris et al,

I've found a list of BMC fasteners by part number and their meaning. Link below. It's really useful (I think!) and might help anyone else who's slowly rebuilding a Moke.

I'm not sure where the list originates from, BMC I suppose, but I got this from MGAGURU.COM.

In this case the part number for the fuel tank top screws is PMZ 0510 which means: Phillips Recessed Screw UNF/Zinc/Pan Head/5/8"lg x 5/16" dia. Page 10 refers!

https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&a ... ghts=&tbs=

Please let me know if the link doesn't work.
