I seem to have missed placed the bag of bolts to reattach the bonnet to my TR4. Does anyone know off hand what size bolts are used to reattach it the hings? I tried 5/16 - 18 but they don't seem to be right.

Which BTW would be 24 tpi.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:]Canley Classics has done a beautiful job of putting the Standard-Triumph hardware catalogue on their web site. [/QUOTE]Indeed they have. But it's still useless for going backwards; unless you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking for. Finding say a KT4708 is pretty tedious.
 
Yeah, it IS pretty useful. Randall's right in that it isn't all that helpful in reverse. BUT, if you have a factory Spare Parts Catalogue and can ID, for example, that HU0808P as a set screw, you can easily get to that setscrew section of the catalog. I should also have mentioned another decoder for those part numbers here on the VTR web site. A similar chart might still also be on Canley's web site, but I didn't find it this time around (it had been there in the past). This is somewhat useful if you kinda know what you're looking for and you do have that part number. Of course, if you find a hardware bit in the Spare Parts Catalogue with a more typical Stanpart six-digit number, i.e., 550026, then you're dealing with a possibly more specialized/dedicated part (in this case, a "Washer, waved"). Not that you might not find something in a hardware bin that's "close enough" for use, but....
 
In case anyone is interested, I've put a PDF version of the Standard-Triumph Hardware catalogue up (temporarily) at https://depositfiles.com/en/folders/FGB7Y0P0A

There are a few other files up there that might be helpful to some, so feel free to grab anything that looks interesting. I'm not going to pay to keep them there, so they'll be deleted in a month.
