The diameter of the broken bolt is approximately 20 mm Did think of that but thought sleeve would be better and also using sleeve would ensure the new bolt piece will be straight as it’s going through a subframe I fully understand about the sleeves keeping the 2 pieces straight and assumed straight away your intention, which is a good idea. If you obtained sleeves that were a very near fit diameter, I cannot see how threads inside the sleeves would be a problem, as long as they are touching the inside of the sleeve wall. Plenty of weld around the end of each sleeve. Carosio`s tube is a pretty near fit in respect of the internal. The thick wall may make it a bit too large for where you are fitting it though.

carosio Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes, thought it might be too thick, threaded tube is perhaps about 2-3mm thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 It depends how much space he has. I have only ever seen the short threaded sleeves at Tool station-maybe about 20mm long. It is used for joining the metric threaded rods-from 6mm to about 12mm diam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can bring replacement bolt and a bit of subframe it’s all got to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinBak Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 How about this for a conundrum? Imagine a Jubille Clip...But quite wide...say 3'In... with TWO screws instead of just one. A bit like a small 3' pipe that can be clamped. 38mm Diameter. No one in the whole WORLD makes or sells these things. ! (It's for joining one end of a Motorcycle Exhaust to the other...)

Yes that's exactly what i'm after. I made a Typo in my reply above, The Exhaust pipe i need to join is only 28mm Diameter not 38mm.! I can get the one's in your link from my local car spares shop but they are all way too big. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
