Post by **vanzep** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 6:54 pm

Yeah i know its a bit of a shot in the dark but you never know....

Im looking for some bolts for the crown gear for a gearbox build.

They are left hand thread M10x20mm Hex Washer Head Bolts look like they are fine pitch metric- need about 10pcs
Honda will want a fortune for them so looking to see if anyone knows a different source of supply or even better if anyone has some lying around;) The Honda ones have a small arrow on the head to show left hand thread direction - might help identify

hey thanks for that

believe it or not ive found some off another gearbox locally

funny how some of the bolts had flattened threads (not cross threaded) when removed from the crown - yet others were perfect

Good new!

About the bolt threads, i saw this kind of problem on a 3rd gen Prelude gearbox, i believe it was some dirt that was on the thread that cause that, or maybe over torqued damaged bolt ...

thanks for the info

it did seem a bit odd that some threads were flatted and some were ok

the threads in the crown that the bolts came out of looked undamaged. I dont think its due to over torque but i guess a small amount of dirt/oil in the threads along with the twisting action on the gear could over time possibly cause this wear. but its not so much of a worry now that i know its a problem others have seen when building/stripping down their gearboxes
