smilinjack 0 Posted April 13, 2012 Dick, if you've got a set of metric drills see which one fits into your existing nuts round it up to the next size and that will most likely be the thread size. Or just measure across the stud which the nuts fasten onto. I would guess M6 (10mm spanner) is the most likely size-M10 is a good size and way over the top for a mirror bolt. That's kind of footrest fixing size or similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
