Metric Bolt Help

When I took my truck apart, I labeled every bolt and put them in baggies, in storage.
I have purchased new sheet metal from various places.

The inner fenders came from a friend (new just not used on his project)
Fenders from Goodmark.
Front radiator support from LMC

etc....

These new parts have metric threads. Does anyone know size thread etc..?
Truck is at the body shop and I know that I will need to get this hardware soon.

An thoughts?

Glenn

Re: Metric Bolt Help

I checked a couple of the body bolts I have laying here and looks to me like the equivalent could be a M9x1.5. That is a guess though but should get you close. Lowe's has a decent selection of factory looking bolts in and around that size. I'd grab a couple of samples to see what fits. Its a shame they are switching to metric though.

Re: Metric Bolt Help

metric equivalent sizes:
#10 screw = 5mm x .8
1/4" = 6mm x .7
5/16" = 8mm x 1.25
3/8" = 10mm x 1.5
1/2' = 12mm x 1.75

9mm screws are not a standard size, although it may be available.

Re: Metric Bolt Help

places like s&r fasteners (http://www.srfast.com/) and others (aveco, wurth...)should have the correct style capscrews
