NC30 top yoke pinch bolts

Post by banoffee » Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:06 pm

These appear to be M7 x 50mm. Odd size! Would like to replace with stainless ones but M7 isn't common. Is this the right size? Any supplier recommendations? My usual ones have drawn a blank...

i think its just manufacturers being difficult and making it so you have to go to them for parts etc.

for example peugeot also use M7, pain in the arse when youve lost the last bolt :oops:

bonus though if you ever rip out the thread on your yoke you can re tap it M8 with no probs ;)

I think Ford used it as well on their brake calipers mk3 escort.
