Sorry, can't actually answer your question, but the most reliable way I've found for sizes of nuts/bolts is to find the part number in the parts book, then x-ref them in the "Standard Triumph Hardware Catalogue"

Apologies, I hadn't realized that BH607241 (7/16" UNF x 3") and BH607221 (7/16" UNF X 2.3/4") weren't in the catalogue - my suggestion was about as much use as a chocolate tea pot!

Upper arm bolt is HB1022, hex head bolt 7/16"UNF x 2 3/4" long


Trailing arm are HB1024, hex head bolt 7/16"UNF x 3" long

and for the shocker HB1019, hex head bolt 7/16"UNF x 2 3/8" long


The nyloc nut used throughout is YN2910,
which has an 11/16"AF head and also is deeper than a standard nyloc nut.

You can tighten them up more without stripping the thread.

Not really relevant but an interesting point, both those trailing arm bolts (BH607241 and BH607221) are used on the TR7 trailing arms. Being 7/16" UNF they are odd because most of the rest on the TR7 body stuff is metric !!

And once you have found the part number or size order them from https://www.namrick.co.uk/#:~:text=Nuts ... il%20order.

much cheaper than other 'specialists'

Picking up on this thread and in particular on the YN2910 nyloc nuts.......

These are the deeper, larger Nyloc nuts with the 11/16 spanner size rather than the 5/8 size that is the norm now. Rimmer's no longer do the 11/16 spanner sized nut, superceding the part to the smaller 5/8 version. I have tried sourcing these new and I am having trouble as they seem almost impossible to find.. Namrick as an example used to stock them but not any longer...

So on the basis that I cannot find new ones, I assume using the ones I have taken off (11/16), if they are in a good visible condition after a good clean up, would be better than using new 5/8 spanner sized nylocs? Or does it not really matter?

Views/opinions appreciated, or if anyone knows where these can be obtained new.............. :D

Thanks

Ouch, assuming priced each.
Canleys list them, £18 for a pack of 100, or 30p each. However, worth checking they are the larger spanner size.

saying all that, the curent 5/8 spanner size nuts are fine everywhere I have used them (yes, I bought a big bag of all teh usual sizes years ago, almost out of 5/16 now, plenty of the bigger sizes though)

This company have the correct nuts.

https://www.arunfasteners.co.uk/stock-r ... sert-nuts/

Listed as: - 7/16 UNF Nylon Insert Nut x 0.687 A/F Zinc, which is 11/16".

They seem to list absolutely every type of nut and bolt available. Not sure on price, you have to call them. I intend to get a list of every nut and bolt I need and order from them in one hit, as I know they prefer a larger order.
