P3 75 floor panel fixing

Post by Hud60 » Sat Apr 20, 2024 10:34 am

I have taken the floor panels out of my P3 75 to restore. I have removed all the fixing bolts which fix into the captive nuts on the outer frame and chassis. I'd like to replace them. What thread are they? I thought they were 1/4BSF but they seem to be slightly finer thread. Many thanks for any help.

Possibly 1/4-28 UNF?

It’s a while since I did this job on my P2, but I’m sure the screws are 1/4BSF. So it would be reasonable to expect the same on P3’s as you suggest. No knowing what previous repairers have done I suppose. Have you tried running a 1/4BSF tap into the captive nuts?
Hope that helps, DaveM
