Thread pitch for skidplate bolts?

Hey all,


I have a skid plate waiting to go on, and I need the hardware, as it did not come with any.

2002 WRX wagon.

What size do I need? I tried about 5 bolts I had in my garage, and the thread was too coarse. Is it fine thread?

Thanks!

 

What vehicle? And are you looking for the stock mounting bolts ?

 

Crap, sorry.

Edited first post. Yes, the stock ones should be fine.

 

They are a 8mm X 1.25mm Bolt and they are not very long. 18mm maybe

 

Kick ass.

Thanks!

 

Not 8 x 1.25, cause they did not fit.


Once I find the right size, I'll post up.

 

Almost every larger bolt on the car seems to have a thread pitch of 1.25. Was 8mm not the right diameter or was the thread pitch off?

 

It's an 8, just not a 1.25.


I think it's the more common 1mm thread.

 

1.00 would be a fine pitch, but may be the case. Auto makers prefer using finer pitches when possible. 7 Corners has a pretty good selection. You can probably get an M8 1.00 there.

 

The Ace up the street has a HUGE selection of stuff, and they have the stainless in a M8x1. I should have grabbed them.
