drunkn munky Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 What thread is it? Same as my NC30 sump bolt so M12 1.5 pitch Time serts are a bit pricey for something im only going to use once or twice. Was hoping for a quick fix really as its in for a MOT on friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansp1 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 there is a new sump for a z500 on the bay for £25 ,it has been some time but i think the 400 500 and 550 share most of the bottom end i'm sure cradley would check to see if it's compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkn munky Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Top man and yes i think your right they do share the same bottom end. Would still like to repair this one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
