i'm looking to up rate the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the fly wheel the bolt are m7 x 1.0 but how do you measure the length? do you measure the length of the thread or the length of the thread and head of the bolt?
the length of the thread is 18mm, and the length of the thread with bolt head (the whole bolt) is 22mm
i was looking for some 12.9 m7 x 1.0 but i cant find any does any one where i can sauce some from?
thanks allan
right got my hand on some new bolts. before i fit them is there a torque setting or is till they are tight?
allan
just measure the lenght of the thread, not the head.Originally Posted by allanr5gtt
m7 x 1mm? hmm , i cant remember off the top of mt heat bur im sure its guna be more like a m6/m8x 10mm
take an origional bolt down to ur local fastener shop
however the origional bolts in gud codition cleaned with thread lock torqued to haynes manual nm setting in clockwise opposite sequence is sufficient

hi all i'm still trying to find the torque setting for the clutch pressure plate bolts? can any help
From memory daNm is dekaNm, which is an SI prefix for x10¹ I believe...
So '2 daNm' as Renault put it is 20nm...
Thats what the cover plate bolts should be
cheers bud thats what i thought as the flywheel bolts are listed as 5.5 danm and they are listed elsewhere at 55nmFrom memory daNm is dekaNm, which is an SI prefix for x10¹ I believe...
So '2 daNm' as Renault put it is 20nm...
Thats what the cover plate bolts should be
thanks allan
no worries.
Next time you see a reading in danm...multiply it by 10
defo 20nm and 55nm for the fly wheel
Make sure your torque wrench is decent and calibrated. 20nm on an m7 bolt is still quite a lot.
just dont go crazy like me and pay £395 for a Snapon Digital Angled Wrench LOL
Pah dont even need a torque wrench on the pressure plate bolts
you do when they are made of monkey metal. i snap three just nipping them up.
