Thanks Craig and Steve for prompt replies.

I had a strong feeling that bolt is not standard.

Steve's theory about a Helicoil screw-up sounds about right to me, especially as the other bolts will not go in this hole.
Until I can locate a not too costly new hub (or used if I can find a good one) I will probably have to repeat the Helicoil fix using a more appropriate bolt.
Not to mention that I will need the special thin wall socket and summon up the muscle power to undo the big hub nut.
I especially went the "Rosso" route to avoid this.

Helicoil kits are plus $30.00 a pop.....but I need to get this car back on the road for the Teen.

Ta,

Neville.
