What size bolt?

Is used to attach the gearbox bell housing splash guard?

Thought it would be a 13, 8.8, but don't know if I'm wrong or if the threads are gone because it's not screwing in.

Cheers.

I have a vague memory of it being some bizzare fine thread. Not much help though I'm sorry.

By 13 8.8 I assume u mean a 13mm spanner so your trying to use an m8 bolt, if I remeber correctly it's an m7 thread

Yeah, that's what I meant, so that's where I'm going wrong. Cheers.
