Measuring Bolts ??
« 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 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.
