Harness bracket thread size?

Hi

Does anyone have any idea of the thread in the harness brackets 9holes or whatever) on the Indy chassis. I have bought a 7/16 UNF tap but it seems to be too big?????

Cheers

Not mine pal... i tried an M10 bolt and it wobbled like a sausage in an alley way!!! Martin from MK told me it was 7/16ths but he wasn't 100% sure!!!!!

You may have got a plug tap instead of a taper tap. A taper tap has a reuced dia to allow the thread to be started.
Seatbelt mounts must be a minimum of 7/16 or 11mm for SVA.
