All chassis are M14 some vans and ami use a M14 shock side too and so it could cause confusion one side has a short shank the other slightly longer.
@ sam
however the internal thread on the chassis is probably mashed as the shank worked it way down see the marred area on the shank of the pin- you could try and beg steal or borrow an M14x? tap

head unit .....looks like a wireless to me

All you need now is to dump the 602, change it to electric propulsion then you will be able to hear your ipod.

Cheers Sean - Dad dug out the taps today so I'll have a go at that over Easter... just need to get the old blimin stud out.

Wireless....? Isn't that what you get in Starbucks

Or use very VERY loud speakers

Serious... are those Xplod Sony any good with Ipods ?
the other car has to be wired for music and its all new to me, ive found that playing the ipod thru the 3.5 jack has reduced output and you have to wind the volume up to stupid levels

had one of those crap little amps fitted on mine but it cooked 2 sony phones on the way to Most

The xplod units are very good. I now have identical units in both D*lly and van. using the official sony ipod adapter you can control volume, playlists, skip tracks etc... via the headunit AND via either a wireless remote or a stalk type one that you can have somewhere handy.

The xplod units also have good EQ settings so they sound really nice.

That's a GT300s - came out in 2006, cost me £30 (gone down a bit since I bought the one for D*lly - cost me £70 in '06)

We've had a slightly older-model one in Sparky for a few years. Works with Ellie's older iThing just fine - whereas my newer Pioneer head unit won't see her device at all (too old).

sam,
that damper mounting pin should look like one of these.

Not sure whether it would have been the larger type, as some early vans (and Amis) used the smaller (12mm bore) damper mountings.

However, you may be able to figure out which way round it had been fitted, which might also explain why it broke...

ken.

Just seen Sean's post, all ( Citroen ) chassis mountings are M14 x 1.5 thread



Citroen damper mounting studs by slcchassis, on Flickr

I _believe_ Het's on a genuine Citroen 400 chassis.

V has the latest postage stamp with majick pictures and enough tracks on it that my hypothetical wood and breezeblock shelving unit would be straining under the equivalent in vinyl, mated to whatever this years choice at the Skoda works is, Blaupunkt or something equally teutonic.

No happy its not loud enough.
