Anyone know the thread on the captive bolts that hole the gas tank in place
on a MKIII Midget?  I undercoated the car with pick-up bed liner which
filled the threads. Now I need to chase the threads bt can't tell what they
are.  I was thinking 1/4 - 28?

TIA....

How about taking a mall pick and popping the bed liner out of the treads?  U=
nless you used. Really shitty bedline rut should easily pop loose.  Actually=
 I'm surprised you couldn't have went around the bolt at the base and then j=
ust unscrewed the coating of bed liner.=20

I'll see if it lists the thread size in factory parts manual

5/16 UNF and if you have a thread restoring file it'll be easier to find  
the right side of the (4-sided I guess) file for the job.

Personally I like to use a wire wheel.  Just make certain to hold the bolt
in a locking pliers (AKA vise Grips.) And hold it against the wheel in such
a position that when it gets caught the wheel will throw it at the floor
not at your face.  And wear eye protection.
