Danish 294 Posted May 12, 2018 Looking for fuel tank hook bolts in very good condition.Must be able to post to UK or Maltese address.Thanks Do you want genuine, or will aftermarket like these do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M6-M8-J-HOOK-BOLTS-SQUARE-NUTS-ROOFING-GUTTERING-FENCING-FIXING-ZINC-PLATED/182609018670?hash=item2a84587f2e:m:mFeywfEzXKSpXP2ip1-YIxw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danish 294 Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) I have a pair I could measure - but they're in the loft and I can't get up right now. However, Old Part Store list a nut suitable for tank bolts, OHC inlet manifold and ARB drop link. So they must be M8. Measuring this photo: http://www.oldpartstore.net/shop/798-fuel-tank-mounting-bolt.html suggests around 110/120mm is what you need. However, I wouldn't order on the basis of my ramblings, I'm sure someone will be along soon who can measure on for you!
