Geoff,
   
   Many thanks, yep stop being lazy and found out it was 5/16 BSF, the problem is the nuts are now getting really hard. So I re-thread to M8 and is now working fine. We started the car today what a brilliant sound!! now it is tuned. Rolling road this weekend.
   
   Anyway, many thanks
   
   John.

There are plenty of sources for BSF fixings,if you have sourcing problems for these just post a message.
   Maybe the Club could stock a range of these type parts!
