ECU Cover screw thread

Postby blueg33 » Sun Jan 27, 2013 4:19 pm

Ok guys, just discovered my ecu cover has all of the screws missing.

Can any one tell me the thread size for the screws?

Also the thread size for the scuttle cover screws

Thanks

Really, how was the cover plate staying in place, sticky tape, it would fall off otherwise - very odd?

I assume you are talking about the 4 tin lid cover screws? I have loads, send me the p&p and I'll pop some over to you.

That Back Street Slum Dog Bodger innit :lol:

I think Nick is on about the ECU cover that sits between the rear seats not that actual metal cover on the ecu itself. It should have 4 screws, I'll check in my box of bits as they are standard screws. Not got any scuttle panel screws BTW sorry.

Yes its the cover between the back seats, the padded one. You wouldnt necessarily know the screws are missing until the seats are folded then it falls off :) All ashtrays checked. Are they self tappers or machine bolts?

I am soundinmg a bit anal about screws these days :) But better that is my only concern rather than rot, gaskets, gearbox etc etc

GTA carrying capacity is good. Last I collect junior and his mate, one is 6ft 4 the other 6ft 2, they also had with them 3 guitars, 2 amps, 2 large holdalls and 2 sleeping bags. It was a squashy but the fitted in the GTA. But GTA was not having it and wouldn’t start. So I unloaded the kit and the boys, ecu cover fell off, I bushed firmly on all the plugs etc that I could see, and hey presto car fired up.

4 self tapping T20 torx screws. You can replace them with regular pozi drive screws.
