Hello all!
Does anybody know the thread size of the Navigator rear petrol tank securing bolt
No. A2/277?

Iâll have a look tomorrow…

Hi Uli,
I had a look at my lightweights this morning but none of them have the correct original 'shouldered' stud. The size is 5/16th; two of them have a BSF thread,one has a Whitworth thread. The BSF thread is possibly correct as this is on the De Luxe where the mounting is part of the underseat toolbox. The Whitworth thread is on the Standard and is also certainly not original. 5/16" Cycle thread is also a possibility.
Or you could use 8mm ? and no-one would know.
Patrick.

Easier than to look for a helicoil insert.
