Title: mystery bolt hole in the boot
Post by: jackaleks on November 02, 2008, 04:37:29 PM
there\'s a threaded bolt hole in the boot (\'93 japanese efini) just above the spare wheel store. does anyone know what size/thread bolt this takes? i\'m pretty sure it\'s a 10mm bolt but i can\'t find one with the right thread.

want to use it to earth my battery!

thanks

Tis M10 x 1.25, which is metric fine, the seat anchoring bolts are the same thread. Atomic should have some of those spare, as he has offered to kindly post out for you.

Yep, dropped one in the post box on the back from the workshop tonight.  (not literally though, it was in an addressed envelope)
