greg Posted August 7, 2002 Author Share Posted August 7, 2002 Thanks Paul, Which good book would that be? Mine (Haynes Ford Kent Xflow) is a little short on specific details like this. Thanks again. Greg, Q 86 NTM (Green 185BHP XF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Hi Greg, You need the Caterham build manual for the x-flow which gives you all the details on bolt sizes, torques etc. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashaughnessy Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 High tensile bolts, obviously. I think 8.8 spec or equivalent (at least, I think mine are 8.8 spec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 Phil, I did, and I've printed it out (well I had to Copy and Paste it as outlook will not allow me to print just the 1st page). I need to clear things with "her in doors". Greg, Q 86 NTM (Green 185BHP XF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Westie Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 ashaughnessy 8.8 is a standard bolt, high tensile is 10.9 or 12.9 The car in front is a Westfie1d (or was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Westie Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Greg You can get bolts from DJ Invicta in Wingham, they have over 80,000 references!!! The car in front is a Westfie1d (or was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 Wingham hey! The shop keeper (is it a spar?) next to the post office is possibly the most talkative person I've met. Don't be in a hurry if you go. Well there is a lunchtime blat destination! (via a long way obviuosly!) No too worries about tensility as these are to hold the engine to one of those Oval shaped legs (each side).

ashaughnessy Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Fast Westie, I thought 8.8 was high tensile compared to bolts with no markings on them at all. According to a book in front of me, the iso grades start at 4.6 with a strength of 40kg/mm2 compared to 8.8 with 70kg/mm2 A standard mild steel bolt with no markings might be SAE grade 2, which is about ISO 5.8. All according to the book I have open in front of me. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
