I've tried every fine thread I can find but nothing seems to be right. I'm going to have to make some.   Mike Bauer (Mikeb) Member Username: Mikeb Post Number: 107 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 09:02 pm:    The tie downs are metric. I think they are 11 or 12 mm. Thanks, Mike B.   Steve Andrews (Sillybus) Senior Member Username: Sillybus Post Number: 352 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 09:30 pm:    Ohh for pete's sakes.

I was told long ago that they were 7/16" fine thread and that is what I have in there now. they were kind of a bitch to line up and get in there though, so maybe that was why   Steve Andrews (Sillybus) Senior Member Username: Sillybus Post Number: 358 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:02 pm:    That's ok Robbie. Anybody know where I can find some M11 fine threads? The M12's are too big. I'd prefer 316 stainless but I can't find it in any material. I've got someone picking up some 7/16-20 bolts to try and get it to work if all else fails. If anybody has some lying around, I'd be more than happy to pay for a few and extra to cover shipping. I'm trying to get my tie downs in before MAR.
