Rover V8 engine to G/box bolts thread type?

[kartman24]

I am working on a Rover V8 engine (SD1)and need to put it on my engine stand so i am after some long bolts to mount it with. No where near me still does non metric threads so i am going to send off for some. Am i right in assuming they are UNC thread type?..........Martin

If you've not already obtained an answer, best to post this on the more specialised MG/Rover sites such as :~

1) MGBBS : http://www2.mgcars.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=mgb...

or, one of the more general subject headings.

2) Rovertech.net : http://www.rovertech.net/forum/

They are indeed UNC. If you take a look on eBay you can buy UNC bolt kits for the RV8 so you should get all you need in the right diameters, lengths etc.

Don't you just love it when the OP comes back and says 'Thanks'
