Tap & Bolt Size - old son - 29-05-16
Can somebody remind me what size tap and what size Allen bolts I need to remove the AIS from above the exhaust pipes at the front of the engine.
Thanks

M8 tap & socket-cap bolts use a non tapered tap with plenty of lube

Thanks. How long do the bolts need to be?

Sorry to contradict but I strongly recommend an HSS tapered tap to cut the thread in the stubs. You need to cut the thread to about 1cm depth only, so a tapered tap will give you all you need and more with much less chance of snagging while you're cutting the thread.

Do I need an M8 x 1.0, 1.25 or 1.5 tap?
Tap & Bolt Size - mickvp - 29-05-16
Iirc 1.25 is standard M8 pitch, but it doesn't matter really as long as you get the right pitch bolts to match
