Sierra front upright pinch bolt.

Evening all.

I was wondering if anyone knew what lenght and spec the pinch bolt used on the sierra fron uprights is? I think it is an M12 item, but I dont have anything to check! I would get a ford replacement part, but It must be an off the shelf bolt that I can "acquire" from work tomorrow!

Cheers
Andy

Brilliant cheers folks!

Out of interest, does this bolt have any particulare means of locking the bolt in place? I'm thinking some kind of threadlock compound, or possibly a nyloc nut on the protruding thread.

Cheers

Mine is M12 8.8. Long enough to hold cycle wing bracket as well. I drilled clearance hole through upright (result of snapped bolts) and nyloc nut.

That sounds like a good idea.... I had a nightmare getting the pinch bolt out when dismantling the donor parts. I ended up having to weld a new head to the sheared off bolt, before I could remove it.

Now, Where did I put my 12mm drill!!!

Cheers folks!
