Hey i have been looking over google and cant find what i need therefore im pretty sure someone on here will be in the trade or know where to get these from.

 

I need to basically put a spacer in between a bracket and the seat im screwing into. There is 10 mm gap to cover so i was either thinking of using something like what you see in the pic which would be best or simply a cylindrical metal spacer. Thread is 8mm and just cant find the threaded pillars in 8mm thread as i only need 8 of them. So to recap the gap to cover is 10mm and the thread on the seat is 8mm and ideal if the pillar is 8mm too.

In a few days I will be fitting a gas strut for the bonnet stay, I looked into it a day or so ago and there is a 6mm threaded hole I think I can use on the drivers side, I have bought a small strut but it as M8 threads at both ends, I have bought one of these to reduce down

Will these do for you Marty is my thought?

i need M8 to M8

To be straight with you, I feel you have not clearly expressed the problem which means I am guessing.. but ooh, I'd like to help so here goes. :) could you get a longer bolt to go through from top to bottom and any gaps be held/filled/spaced with a peice of tube cut to length, from a length you could easily buy from B&Q Wickes or similar. therefore with One long bolt it goes... bolt head-bracket-spacer-seat-floor.

fingers crossed, not wires crossed I hope!

That is a potential however I don't have anything to hold and cut the bar to the right length which is why I wanted to buy a spacer of the right length. As these hold the seat to the frame as well I wanted to make sure there is going to be no excess stress out on them which could strip the threads in the seat

What about the spacers that are used for the prop bearing? they are designed for m8 bolts iirc.

I am guessing as its only 10mm long, you may struggle to find threaded stand offs ?

Does it need to be made from metal ? if not a longer bolt and these could do:

Good find Tel I think they will do the job cheers

you get no joy from the above. I can make you what you need if you give exact dimensions. prob find some loger bolts too. then meet up at Mkeynes to pick um up.

..expect a mod will be all.. 'you cant sell anything' following this.---- they'd be gratis. completely.

I'll check back in a day or two.

should have began that post with an 'If....

DOH!

ive gone for the nylon ones so will see if they do the job i mean i wasnt after anything special just a place that sold them without having to buy a pack of 100 well done to Tel for finding them :)
