audiomick Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Which ones exactly? Perhaps you could state the number(s) from the drawing here: https://www.stein-dinse.biz/etkataloge/etkataloge.php?l=de&h=MG&m=220&t=5354#a174050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arveno Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Yes all of them I said since the beginning. 1 ( all of them ) 1 23456789 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 is that clear? 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hmmmm. Looking at the diagram and part #s . I would go to Fastenal and order them . e.g. m6x10mm dia. and 10mm length. The thread pitch I would suspect a regular pitch. I am going to guess these are a button head SS sockethead screw . It would be pricey to get this stuff from MG or a MG dealer. Maybe someone here can help you . All the V11s I am familiar with do not have fairings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the thread starter has found a solution. In case anyone else stumble across this: yes, the screws holding my Le Mans fairing together are all standard pitch, and I believe they are all M6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M6 fasteners can be 1.00 pitch or 1.25. Both are "standard", yet one is finer and the other coarser . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiomick Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 No, as far as I know, the standard pitch for M6 is 1.0. The 1.25 pitch is M8 (and M9, but who uses that?). To back that up, look here (look for "Steigung"= thread pitch) : https://www.anzugsmoment.de/gewindesteigung/ https://www.gewinde-normen.de/iso-regelgewinde.html https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrisches_ISO-Gewinde PS: there are also standards (norms) for "Feingewinde", i.e fine pitch. A quick search indicates that "Grobgewinde" (=coarse pitch) also exists, but that seems to be for things like screws for plasterboard. PPS: "Regelgewinde" means "standard thread" or "thread according to the norm". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Thanks. I see M6-1.0 is most common. In fact the repair kit I have for our V11 sump bolts is M6-1.0. My tap-and-die set has both 1.0 and 1.25 pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why that is relevant: I buggered up the thread for the left mirror on my V35 Imola by running a tap down it and not stopping to think why it was hard work. When I had a closer look at the mirror, I realised it was fine pitch. Fortunately the mirror still screws in and holds, but suchlike is a little annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky, indeed: my (late) sister worked for Irwin Tool in account management. An era of fabulous birthday presents! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
