Swing Arm threads

Post by Shaynus » Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:04 pm

Hi all

What is the thread size in the swing arm used for where the paddock stand spools screw into?

I tried screwing in a bolt but it didn't go in very far at all before it bound up. I don't know if the thread is damaged or if the bolt I used was the wrong pitch

Cheers!

Pretty sure it's an m10, but with a fine pitch, your bolts will be m10 standard pitch. Most high tensil m10 should have a finer thread pitch, and its difficult to find stainless bolts with the fine pitch. Pro bolt have the though.

The thread in the swingarm is M10 x 1.25 and most M10 bolts you can buy from normal DIY places are 1.5mm pitch. This is a good place for stainless stuff-
