Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks Ryan, much appreciated!No part number but they're 1/4-20 bolts. 3/4" length should be fine.
No idea why such a long bolt but it does hang out quite a bit. You could definitely use just a 2".Ok one more for ya....
The bolt that attaches the legs of the radio shelf to the bracket (item #5 in the second picture above) are listed as 3/8-16x2.25. Why would they spec such a long bolt just to go through that bracket?
There's a brace under the tunnel that the screws go into for the brackets (shown at the very bottom of the 2nd diagram). Do you happen to know what the thread pitch on that brace is?The bolt for the feet to tunnel is also 1/4 maybe 1 or 1-1/4
maybe 2 inch for the taller turbo dog house extension bracket but not many turbos out there..
Ditto on vent mounting bolt 1/4
They are listed in the radio tm's but many different radio sets and many different configurations.
The one the feet bolt into? They're all 1/4-20.There's a brace under the tunnel that the screws go into for the brackets (shown at the very bottom of the 2nd diagram). Do you happen to know what the thread pitch on that brace is?
Great ideas, thanks! I've been putting together my parts list for this on Kascar's site, it's changing by the hour as you guys give me ideas. LOL.When I installed my radio shelf I used some 1/4-20 thumbscrews on the ventilation duct and 3/8" aircraft quick release pins for the mounting feet. I can pull the entire radio rack out in about 3 minutes to access the engine cover.
Based on what I'm seeing, the brace isn't bolted to the underbody. The bolts that attach the brackets (feet) to the brace are all the holds it in place. So yeah, I was wondering about thread pitch of the nut threads in the brace itself. Thanks.The one the feet bolt into? They're all 1/4-20.
Or are you talking about what the brace on the underbody bolts to? If so, no idea on that. Just know what bolts for the tray feet are.
Last year, I put 3 stainless screws in the base of my intake tube. The aluminum is now corroded around them.When I put my HMMWV back together, I liked the look of all the bolts being stainless and not painted. It was nice to not have paint flake off or scratch when the bolt was tightened. I used SS for all of the misc brackets on the outside, all the hood brackets and supports, the hard door handles and latches, hood vent, antenna brackets, interior radio shelf brackets, light switch, instrument panel, so on, and so on. I think it turned out really nice, if you want that look. I bought my stuff from a local industrial supply house. I got all the bolts, washers, nuts, lock washers, etc for about $100. That is way less than box stores for the SS stuff.
