Gudgeon Pin Clamp Screws
Does anyone know of a UK source for socket head cap screws M8 size, fine
1.0mm pitch, grade 10.9, suitable for use as gudgeon pin clamp screws for
the XPAG engine.
Alternatively a socket with walls thin enough to enable tightening of the
original style hex head screws using a torque wrench.
Regards,
Jim Chase

Try Non Standard Socket Screw Company.
At 359/360 Farm Street Birmingham West Midlands UK Telephone +44 (0) 121
523 3211.
But here again any good Machine Screw Supplier ,not you local Halfords,
should be able to help you get what you are looking for. They generally
aren't "Trade Only" but can seem somewahat intimidating sometimes. But I
found that if you explain what you want and what its for they will come to
your rescue or at least the will know 'A man that can'

Moss had a socket, think it was 3/8 drive, that was modified so that
you could use it on Gudgeon bolt to tighten it correctly, if you
contact them and they can not come up with the part number,
let me know and I will look back in their old part book to get the
number.

In the absence of suitable socket cap screws I use a traditional thin
walled box spanner (as in the original kit) with a modern socket over
the free end to attach the torque wrench to.

If using a socket, you will have to grind away part of one side and place
this ground side towards the rod. You can then get about 1/6th turn before
removing the socket and setting it back one point on the bolt head to repeat
the process. Don't grind away your expensive BSF Snap-on socket!!! Buy an
inexpensive 12 point, 13 mm socket and grind one side. The 13 mm socket is a
snug fit but works.
