Does anyone know the size of the Crankshaft front end nut (Starter Jaws Nut for engaging Starter Handle).
I have discovered that mine has a stripped thread and was refitted in the past using a Helicoil insert, which has now come adrift.
I therefore need to purchase a nut of the correct size and thread, no need for the Starter Jaws aspect, as oil cooler under the radiator blocks the access anyway.

Thanks for your help. The nut has now been replaced with a 3/4 UNC.

The spare starter dog bolt I have is from a Commer but I'm almost certain it's the same crank. The measurement across the flats is (as near as damn it) 1 1/4"



or just over 32mm



The thread on the bolt has an outside diameter of 3/4" but if your crank has been drilled out and helicoiled then obviously it will be different in the crank. Are you thinking of getting a new bolt made up to match the thread in the crank of will you be fitting a new helicoil?
