Hi all,
I would like to brush up my 1224 motor, replace the bolts with INOX, rust proof it, etc.
First question: does anyone know what the bolt size is holding the top and bottom plates? It looks like an M10 but it could be imperial one too. Before I go order some, does anyone know for sure?
Second question... that bloody spigot holding the top base plate on - the screw holding it in is rusted solid. I am waiting for drill battery to charge up but I want to drill the top of the screw off and knock the spigot out. Am I better off replacing the spigot with a simple bolt or try and reuse the existing one?
Cheers my dears...
