    Spare Tire Bolt

    I was "good" enough to lose my spare tire bolt. I think the cheapest way to get another one is to make one (Copper State in Phoenix, for example), but I do not know the size.

    I shall kindly appreciate if anybody could measure the length and thread size.

    ZubrAZ,

    What parts do you need?




    If it's just the bolt itself, I can determine the size & post so you can find it local. If you need the brass colored piece as well, I'll have to try & fab a copy since I was planning on using it for Moncha's air compressor bracket.

    Sorry Scott - If I'm not procrastinating ... then I'm forgetting. I forgot all about cutting that piece till I came across it whilst looking for the spare tire bolt.

    The parts catalog says the bolt is M14X25, but it doesn't give the thread pitch. It may have two thread sizes available, so ya could guess or buy both and return the other. Any home center or auto parts shop will have them.

    ZubrAZ,

    I have an extra bolt. Are you still in need of one?

    I tried to send you a PM but it says you're full.
