Advice on bolt size

viking210 · May 29, 2024

Hi All,
I have managed to source a fulcrum ball joint bracket which bolts onto the top of the rear axle. (This is now obsolete and replaced by a weld-on item).
I now need to acquire some bolts; anyone know what size they will be?

Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Yes, some of the Salisbury type axles had a separate piece that bolted on to receive the tapered pin of the ball joint. These were 10mm I think. But I'd try a few spare bolts to identify what fits and then buy some high tensile jobbies. It's got to push the whole land rover along, push it round corners and bring it to a stop, so they need to be strong.

Thanks for that, am I right in thinking this will be a UNF thread?

Yes, I was pretty sure they were metric, at least on the later models.
