While trying to reassemble the head of a 1500cc midget I managed to
strip the thread of a nut. I hadn't crossed the thread. I was using a
Torque wrench and was at least 10% under the Haynes manual recommend
torque of 46lbf ft.
(I was very relieved when I found out it was just the nut cause I had
assumed it would be the stud.)
I was now going to replace all of the nuts, does any one know the
thread size? Is there any where I can find out thread sizes for various
items? Also I presume the studs are hardened? but the nuts are just
standard strength so I will be able to replace them with off the shelf
item wont I?
