Chris Wilson Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 M6 normal 1.0 mm pitch, about 10 to 15mm long. Metric fine in M6 size is rare and not used anywhere on a MKIV hat I am aware of. It's most DEFINITELY NOT an M10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Ahh, a lightweight race engine build, I like that Throw all washers away, and anything not vital to it starting and running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
