What is the size of bolt for a 66 type 1 steering stop . This bolts to the welded area on the beam that is adjustable for the steering arm to stop against when you turn the steering to the max. Best I can explain.

Maybe not technically appropriate, but I get constantly asked. Hurst shifter knob/shaft thread size= 3/8 X 24.

Wide Five early Lugnuts/ Lug bolts are M12 x 1.50

I needed this because the torque meister wont allow for lug nuts to attach it to drums (too short)

Please advise: What is the drill bit size needed to change my 12mm break drum lug bolt threads to 14 mm threads? Note I do not want to install press in studs (which is a bigger drill bit, I want to install either lug bolts or screw in studs). What is the pitch of the tap? Is the tap a 14 mm? I appreciate your advice.

The late model lug bolt thread pitch is 14x1.5mm. (considered fine thread) The tap drill is 12.5mm

Im looking for the engine mount stud size for the back of the case and also the the top bolt on the drivers side. If it changes anything it is a Mexico Block From 73. Thanks

How about the size of the bolts in the end of the steering box? The ones that will scrape if you are lowered----lol. On a 67 type 2

Thanks a lot. Im going to the hardware store tomorrow to buy them

Well, I just came back from Europe, had a great time and some interesting discussions. Among them was a statement from a friend wo is a long-time mechanic, mostly Mercedes. He maintains that all items on the original VW, i. e. Beetle were always metric. I challenged that by quoting the wheel sizes as 14 inch or 15 inch. He denied it and claimed that they are in metric conversions. I also quoted my experience with the oil pressure sensor connection to the block that I always found to be 1/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread). Can anyone verify my opinions and give me a source to copy?
Thanks,
