I know I can buy this stuff but I've decided to make this a small winter project.

Looking for dimension of the following parts as I would like to model them up and send them to the shop and have some nice machined parts:

Wheel guide bolt: threads, thread length, total length and diameter.

Oil filter socket/wrench: How many points and distance between flats, socket depth.

Jack pads: Dimension of the slot. I'm trying to make a piece that will fit in the cup of the jack and has the male slot protruding from it to fit nicely in the slot of the car.

Thanks!

 

I have the guide bolts and they are only about $10 from the local dealer, unless you have the machines to do so, I doubt that you can get it custom made cheaper. If you want to match the threads, pull a wheel bolt from your car and you have an exact match.

I will measure my Oil Filter wrench later and let you know...but again probably cheaper to buy one, as I am sure the filter wrench is cheaper then the cover if it breaks.

 

Thanks! As I mentioned, I would like a fun and basic winter project and not really looking at it from a $$ POV.

I can't check the wheel bolt as my car is in storage.

I know people with access to machinery. It's also an exercise for the machinist.

 

If your skills are up to it. I'd try and make the LN spin on oil filter adapter too. Looks fairly easy to make if you have a lathe and mill.

 

Thread info for the hanger is M14 x 1.5 - I've seen the length given as 117mm.

This guy makes great parts:
