Title: Measuring Bolts ??
Post by: Anonymous on July 20, 2006, 12:21:37 AM

How the F do you find out what bolts you have....?

I have the bonnet mount on the TJ, I want to buy some new bolts ~ 180mm long with wing nuts.

Apart from not being able to find M10x180's on screwfix.... it would seem than the american bolts have a different standard thread pattern.....

So, what the F am I asking for to get some bolts with the same thread etc etc. I want 4 x >180mm and 2 x 80mm bolts....

If M10s fit.  Buy M10s and get some new wing nuts.

If they are not metric then they will be UNF or UNC.

If you don't have any dies to test them with the best thing is to find a fastener supplier and take them with you. They will be able match them up with known nuts.
