    Hi there,

    My 1988 (pre ABS) 328 does not have the clamp screw that holds the spare wheel in place. Could someone have a quick look and measure the exact thread size for this? I'm thinking of making a replacement.
    Thanks in advance guys!
    Jon

    You sure you want to have all that work? They are not that expensive...

    Yes once I know the thread size I want to explore doing it, at least initially.

    Jon, my 83 308 is 12mm x 1.75mm. Total length is 133mm and the bolt from tip to the knob is 95mm.

    Thanks Glenn, much appreciated. 328 should be the same I think.
    Cheers.

    There are TWO Different length screws.

    Make sure you have the correct dimensions for your car.

    Glenn, thanks again for the information. Thanks to this, I successfull managed to find the perfectly sized screw (with plastic clamp top like the original) from a fastener supplier. Cost me about £5 so a little more cost effective than getting from usual channels.

    Jon.

    Several suppliers have the right size; in the end I found one in the UK on ebay (specifically the ebay name is pkinklimit85) so went for that.
