Calling on the collective wisdom of the forum.... Does anyone know if an M4 bolt will be small enough to bolt a Harken Micro Cleat? I have M3 at the moment but I need longer bolts and I cannot get M3 in the length I require...... ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |

| If you go M4 watch how tight you go, best to fit a decent washer and just hand tight, can stop the pawls opening (hoping that's the right word, could be winches instead) |

I stuck with M3 in the end and modified the plastic cap to ensure I had enough thread under the deck to get the nuts and washers on. ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |
