im not completely sure i was right, but im almost 100 percent. if you have a bolt labeled something -24 or - anything measure out 1" of it then count threads then we will now for sure!

i agree with you on that comminent.

By the way what in the world is a sirloin steak???

I know what a steak is and love it but what does sirloin mean?

To be honest with i have never even herd of that word before so i guess that makes me the stupid one around here.

You got the threads correct but not what I needed. :p The above is my question. Why is that in metric but everything else in standard.

The sirloin steak is a beef steak cut from the rear back portion of the animal, continuing off the short loin from which T-bone, porterhouse, and club steaks are cut.

The sirloin is actually divided into several types of steak. The top sirloin is the most prized of these. The bottom sirloin is less tender, much larger, and is typically what is offered when one just buys sirloin steaks instead of steaks specifically marked top sirloin. The bottom sirloin in turn connects to the sirloin tip roast.

YUMMM!

I think we just found our forum butcher!

Not a great title to have when we are all talking about mechanics -- oh, great Megadeth song! Was originally called the Four Horsemen when Metallica Stole it from Dave Mustaine so he sped it up, wrote new lyrics, and named it Mechanix. It's on his first album 'Killing Is My Business, and Business Is Good'.:thumbsup:

I know this is old, but I still need help with the backplate mounting screws. HF lists them as 8.0-1.25. What does that mean? Where can I find such bolts?

#1 sirloin was just a random word added to steak, lol

#2 well its in mm, i would bet the 8mm is the bolt dia, the 1.25mm is wayyyy too short to be the bolt depth.

i just did some research and it looks like its a standard measurement for small engine brands, subie, honda, hf clone, ect. i wouldn't worry about it, but i'm stumped on the 1.25mm
