Good to see you've got some progress.
The parts catalogue I use states M14 x1. 5

Yes it is

memo to self get eyes tested / buy digital vernier / don't measure things late at night, probably all three.

Anyway, thanks! Saved me £18 on the wrong tap and die set I was about to order

Got there in the end! Chasing through the slotted nuts with a tap meant they spun down the Koni damper smoothly, all tightened up last night and wheels back on. MB back on the road!

Just need to save for a garage lift so I can take it all apart again and do the job properly, new plumbing, get all the suspension etc blasted, painted, rebushed and so on.

Thanks for all your help guys
