Lude Generation

Right, figured I get this started as a rolling thread with requests and for people to add to, then I'll just update this first post with all info.

The purpose of the thread is to document a one stop shop for all sizes & dimensions of small items that need replacing or upgrading, such as nuts, bolts, pipes, and so on.

Here is the start (ones I could remember off the top of my head), let it blossom!

NUTS & BOLTS GENERALLY
Sizes are M# (bolt diameter) x #.# (thread pitch size) x ##mm long (threaded rod length) Qty # (number of them on our Preludes)

4TH GEN
- BOLT - Headlight retaining bolts in the slam panel = M6 x 1.0 x 16mm long Qty 4 (2 per headlight)
- BOLT - Radiator stay mount bolts fixed to slam panel = M6 x 1.0 x 16mm long Qty 4 (2 per stay mount)
- BOLT - Wing mounting bolts top - exposed in the engine bay = M6 x 1.0 x 16mm long Qty 6 (3 per wing)
- NUT - Front shock/damper top mount / coilover nuts (visible in the engine bay on strut tower = M10 x 1.25mm Qty 6 (3 each front shock) - torque 39Nm (28lbft)
- NUT - Rear shock/damper top mount / coilover nuts (visible in the boot on strut tower) = M10 x 1.25mm Qty 4 (2 each rear shock) - torque 39Nm (28lbft)
- NUT - Front upper arm / wishbone nuts (visible in the engine bay on strut tower) = Self locking M12 x 1.25mm Qty 4 (2 each wishbone) - torque 65Nm (47lbft)
- NUT - Rear upper arm / wishbone nuts (visible in the boot on strut tower) = Self locking M12 x 1.25mm Qty 4 (2 each wishbone) - torque 65Nm (47lbft)
- BOLT / NUT – EGR studs / nuts (for removal of EGR and studs and adding bolts = M8 x 1.25 x 16mm long max depth into intake manifold Qty 2

- Oil drain plug = M14 x 1.5 x ##mm
- Gearbox drain plug = M14 x 1.5 x ##mm

I'll combine things between 4th & 5th gens as and when people confirm them.

I'll add some more when I've got my pad from the garage and 5 minutes.

Also if you want something added, or someone to find out, post a reply asking for a request.


Cheers,


Rob

Great idea Rob Can I just ask one thing though?...

Can you give bolt specs like...

"Headlight retaining bolts in the slam panel = M6 x 1.0 x 16mm long Qty 4 (2 per headlight)"

That's a pretty standard format in the engineering industry, so will make it easier for others to search, especially the "M6 x 1.0" part.

Also, would t be easier to use "#" instead of "X" to represent a number in the OP?

Alright know it all!

I'll tweak it later, off out now.

Any other suggestions, additions & requests welcome.

Happy now!

I don't see any #'s

Happier

The only thing now is if applicable bolt shaft length and thread length (ie. the thread might not go all the way up the length of the bolt, possibly like the caliper carrier bolts )

You want me to write that on my screen in blood too?

I'll add that maybe as a side note for specific bolts, what do you think? You work with Engineers allday, I just count these things up and price them day to day!

Alright, I was looking in the wrong spot
