In short, I forgot to tighten the two bolts holding the S shaped part of the drivers side bank of extractors where it meets the Y piece (underneath next to the clutch cable, a bit further back from the steering pinion) and they dropped out when I was taking it for a test drive.
I can’t find any conclusive answers on the type of bolt they are. I measured the ID of the hole and it came up as ~ 7.5mm. The problem is I don’t have a thread pitch gauge and I don’t know if it’s actually metric or if it’s an imperial bolt. Extractors look to be pacemakers but I could be wrong.
Assuming metric it would be something like an M9 x 1.5.
If anyone knows anything about it, it would be a massive help. Cheers.
