Engine plate bolts

Forums

Hi all 

I recieved an engine plate fixing kit for my slimline dominator but the bolts when fully tightened are more than 5mm too long. Even when the nut on one side is fastened all the way down its still too long. Have I done something wrong or been given a dodgy kit ?

Thanks

... your second pic but as far as studs are concerned the thread should not normally extend inside the part being constrained otherwise the peaks of the thread will wear rapidly ending up with a sloppy fit.

The second pic has the confusion of mirror finish on the engine plates showing reflections of the studs. The studs are too long but no idea why, either they have been specified wrong or there are some spacers missing.

If you look on the Andover Norton website, the illustrated Slimline frame section identifies all the fixing bolts/ studs by size.

I have quite a few in oddments box. Now I can identify exactly which position they are for.

 Good info, thanks
