914World.com _ 914World Garage _ bolts for steering box to aux support

Posted by: mikelsr Oct 9 2005, 10:14 AM

Yesterday I was trying to raise the steering box up 1/2" with a bump steer kit. I must have cross-threaded one of the bolts because I can't get it in. I didn't apply much pressure to the bolt but I don't want to do any more damage so I want to tap it out. I think the bolt is a 10x22 (ok the new one is longer) and the threads are 1.50 but I want to make sure before I start working on it again. Does anyone know for sure what the size is?

TIA,
Mike

They would be 10x1.50. There are no 10x1.25s on a 914, and only rarely is 10x1.0 found (CHT sensor threads). The Cap'n
