Post by Nick »

I am going to bolt my majors nosecone (the 58 one), it has six threaded holes in the tombstone for it to fix to, my question is what thread are the bolts? Is it 5/16 unf?
Oh yay, look, another seized bolt! Lets get a hammer.....and some kano.....and some cider!

They are UNC, quite small from memory possibly 1/4. Pretty much all the threads into castings on a Fordson will be UNC.

Regards,
