flea49 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The bolts you are talking about are 10 or 12 mm almost every bolt on a shee is 6,8 10,12 mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightninn2 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 If I remember correctly, the heads of those bolts are 12mm. Those type of bolts are called flanged hex head bolts. Again if I remember correctly, a 12mm head bolt has an 10mm thread. Now I'm going from memory, so I'm not positive. A good way for you figure the size is take out a good bolt from the grab bar and take it with you to where you are going to purchase the tap. You can then make sure you have the correct diameter by sight and test the pitch by seeing if the tap and bolt threads you have mesh when placed beside each other.

Fox73-Zz Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The heads are 12mm, but the bolt size is an M8, but I don't remember the pitch. The bolts with the 10mm head is an M6, and the smaller bolts in the plastic around the rad are M5's. Take the old bolt and try to match the pitch with a new, known size nut. Then buy a bolt with that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
