| Post subject: | Nuts and Bolts |
Sometime ago Gafmo posted a list of all the nuts and bolts in the engine - can't find it and can't remember if it included front suspension. I want to use nylock nuts on the front suspension so need the sizes for ball joints, steering arm and tie rod. |

Be careful with Nyloc nuts, many/most now are only grade 4 chinese rubbish steel. Original nuts were all grade 5 or grade 8, hi-tensile. |

Is this it? - http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35342 P.S. I've made great use of the following method to search Ausmini archives since the normal search has had its wings clipped. In the Google search box type site:ausmini.com followed by whatever search terms you like. To find the above thread I used Gafmo bolt nut. You'll see there's a few other related threads that might be of interest. This one had a list by harley but the image seems to have been deleted. Is harley still on here? http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=687861 |

In case it helps the following are the part numbers from the Mini Series parts catalogue PUB1056M (1969/70). If you search using Google you will get some hits from the usual Mini parts suppliers and these give brief specifications. Note that the Mini Spares tie rod end has a Nyloc nut. I wonder if these are good quality or el cheapo as Doc hinted? http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... .aspx|Back to Ball joints - FNZ 507 Tie Rod outer end - LNZ 207 Tie rod inner bolt - FNZ 505 Upper support arm shaft - FNZ 508 Lowewr wishbone are shaft - FNZ 506 Steering rack ball socket - 53K 1663 Steering rack u bolts - MYH 319 |

Further to the above here is a document that details the specification of various fasteners used by BMC. You'll see there's a system in the naming convention. FN for hexagon nuts, LN for lock nuts, WN for wing nuts, N for plain, Z for zinc, P for chrome plated, and the numbers indicate the tensile strength and diameter. Hope this helps. http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.u ... teners.pdf |

Doesn't the list of part numbers and the Fastener's publication that I posted above give you what you are after? |

I bought this kit a couple of years back, mini in a box - pretty much every nut and bolt required to rebuild your car from scratch. Imperial and metric have used the nuts and bolts for multitudes of things not just mini related. http://www.aseriesspares.co.uk/classic- ... _1027.html |

Wombat - just to clarify, those nut part numbers I posted are straight from the Australian Mini parts catalogue, not the Mini Spares website. I only posted the link to Mini Spares to expand the topic. |

if you're concerned about the nuts coming loose, i highly recommend using Loctite, specifically 2 types of it, 243 is a thread locker designed for you to put some on prior to assembling, easy to undo if you need to, but wont come loose through use, and i forget the number but it is a Wick in Loctite, this is used when you have already assembled the parts, apply a little bit to the thread and it will work its way in and lock the nut (i used this on the clutch adjustment, goes against gravity as well). nyloc nuts are ok but need to be replaced every time and as mentioned the quality these days isnt great and i highly recommend scraping all spring washers as they dont work, instead use a normal washer and loctite. |
