Thought they were larger....nevermind,rethread to new metric size carefully as mentioned,tap the hole and get an engineering shop to machine a stepped stud which is an easy job. You need to be carefully doing this,the retapped hole needs to be square to the bellhousing otherwise the guide tube could be off centre. A wee lick of Loctite won't hurt on the new stub ,DON"T overtighten. |
