subiemech85 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 it's a standard size IIRC 5x.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffanyus Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 So 4 IIRC 5x.8 is what I need then right??? Home depot or autozone??? Which is a better source to find them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 IIRC = If I Recall Correctly try a HARDWARE store or your STASH of bolts I buy them by the # at a local farm store with extensive hardware section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 they are bigger than a 5mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subieguy Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 The original bolts are 12mm. That's what is in my 78 and 84 Brat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 The original bolts are 12mm. That's what is in my 78 and 84 Brat. agreed, but that's the head size. he needs the thread size/pitch... which he can get at an autoparts store, but would most likely have a 13mm head... I'll check with my sizer today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffanyus Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Cool thanks Mick let me know the size. So Im looking for a 12mm and then Mick is getting me the thread size????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 okay. bolts are 8mm x 1.25. the stock ones took a 12mm socket for the head, but auto parts store metric bolts most likely will take a 13mm socket. the 8mm x 1.25 is the important part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffanyus Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Awesome Thanks Mick!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
