[QUOTE="Dave Jackson, post: 28368, member: 2261"] Just taken a micrometer to the stud itself and its made with a bit of 6mm bar. This is 14 thou undersize from a quarter inch and when you put it into proper 1/4 inch threads rattles around all over the shop. The top threads of the crankcase hole were quite damaged when I put it in, but I screwed it down a lot deeper and threw in a load of locktite. Suffice to say this only lasted about 200 miles before the stud had munched through the rest of it. I bought the stud from the club spares co in July this year, so nice quality control. Pays to check whatever you get from them. I'll send them an email and see what they have to say. [/QUOTE]
