Hi everyone

I am trying to remove the center box on my P38 and the bolts that go onto the clamp have disintegrated, does anyone know the nut and bolt size?

Thanks

If they've rotted, some heat, oil and a good pair of mole grips.
Or cut the buggers off with a grinder
Then cut and make the old bolts flush and drill then out to fit bolts if you're using the part again

Are M10 x 100 bolts long enough ?

À good question, get in there lad and measure them.
As a rule, any bolt length should leave at least 5mm sticking out of the nut once it's tight

Nice one , I've just snapped a bolt so this is going to be fun, only got hand tools.

Just measured it at 5-6 cm which translates to 50mm so they should be enough.
