Scott Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 can you not drill and tap a new thread ? to what ever bolt you have that almost fits, must admit i was shocked with the little nigly bits of a single build, fabricating a mid or down pipe is a pain sometimes I could but I don't want to go down this route at the moment. I would be worried about swarf in the radiator and I believe the bolt either has to be alloy or plastic to stop it reacting with the alloy. Hello mate if you pm me your address. I can send you a m10x 1mm pitch set screw its 25mm long or if any one nose the right size. I mite have that aswell. if its coming up as a weard size it may be UNF. I ordered one up last week, should be here today/tomorrow going by the despatch notification. If it's no good then I'll need to concentrate on finding out what thread it is, if I get a hit I'll definitely keep you in mind. Thanks for the offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Scott, I have a machinery handbook that could help with the thread dilemma. Get yer calipers oot and measure the inner minor width and see if you can get the pitch as well with a thread gauge (surely your work would have some?).

Get yer calipers oot and measure the inner minor width and see if you can get the pitch as well with a thread gauge (surely your work would have some?). To be honest I couldn't be bothered doing that lol. I've got a set of thread gauges here, somewhere, and I've got about half a dozen zeus books. Now that the finger has been extracted this is the route I will be going down if I don't get anywhere with the M10 bolt. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 It's an ASI radiator. I've ordered a couple of bolts through work, if these don't fit then it's getting tapped out lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just have the drain plug welded up Scott. That's why I did. The plug that came with my ASI rad began to leak after a week of use. When I wantvto change my coolant I just take the bottom water pipe off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I wantvto change my coolant I just take the bottom water pipe off. I had that thought in mind too. I need to find an alloy welder to bead an intercooler pipe so might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
