Reply To: Austin 16 H.P. intake-to-exhaust bolts / set screws

Hello,

Thanks John and apologies for the late reply. I tried Longbridge but sadly to no avail.

However, I was able to find a suppler able to provide the right spec bolt.

For future reference I ordered four 5/16″ * 22 * 2 1/4″ BSF bolts (grade R) from Arun Fasteners. Note: that’s 22 threads per inch and these are bolts rather than set screws. They’re almost identical to what I removed and have worked a treat.

Excellent service from Arun; dispatched very promptly, absurdly well packaged and exactly the right spec.

The manifolds, carb, linkages and fuel system are all back in place and working properly.
