Sorry I only had a few mins to do this while I had a late lunch. I am still unsure whether the earlier series 3's would have had metric threads. My stage 1 definetely does though.

Part No 346989 UNF
MRC6074 Metric (No date given for change)

I would guess that the UNF one is an off the shelf 3/8" bolt, but the metric one is a special because of the requirement to have a 3/8" shank rather than 8mm.

I reckon I could make it for a bit less than that.:)

Cheers, Mick.

There you go Shepp....you have your answer....so, how many do you want?

As Pete has one for me I'm probably ok, but very good to know. Thanks all for your help.......cant believe Pete does those drawings up so quickly.

Its a very strange bolt :D

Japanese m10 (jis?) will be a 14mm head and shanks are likely close to 9.4mm. But they don't use the decimal strength grades either.

Well unfortunately I need the imperial version. So I am still chasing one if anybody has one floating about?
Can you make an imperial version Mick?

If the dimensions match, it doesn't matter whether it started life as metric or imperial.
But either are easy to make. Just make sure you cut a real thread, not the stack of grooves on Pete's drawings.:angel:
