brian wesby Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hola. Does anyone know of a supplier of shouldered bolts as used on the convertible hood frame.? The threads on most of mine have been seriously worn away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Canley list it? (Item 41?) as NLA. So you may have your work cut out. Item 38?, is available via Rimmer £7+ EACH Do you know any one with a Lathe? Item 38 could be turned down relatively easily from a Set screw of the correct length. https://www.canleyclassics.com/?diagram=triumph-herald-13/60-convertible-hood Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I was looking for some a while back, but stopped for some reason - I hadn't yet found any, so might as well try again, if anyone knows the exact name for that type of bolt. I've found them under 'stripper bolt' but at present only in metric, although that's no great hardship if we're stuck. I'll be in the garage shortly and will check the size required before searching some more. What makes me wary is the size of the shoulder compared to the threaded part, which is quite pronounced, and I'm concerned if I order a bolt sized to suit the shoulder, the threaded part will be too big for the hood application. If it came down to the wire I'd just use a bolt to fit the threads and get a sleeve made up for the shoulder width. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldered bolts tend to be specific to a job - not normally available off the shelf I would agree with Colin. Get the correct bolt then concentrate on a bush Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
