Hi All,
I'm after some advice please. I was wondering if anyone could explain bolt thread sizes to me.
Basically when listing thread sizes for various bolts and screws they are listed as M then a number. For example M10 or M7 ect.
What does this mean? How can you tell what thread size a bolt is by looking at it or measuring with a ruler?
Reason I'm asking is because I'm after a new set of bleed nipples for my MX3 and having trouble saucing some from my local motorfactors. He did say though if I could get the thread size we should be able to match some up. If it's any consilation they have an 8mm head on them
Any help would be appreciated. :d
Cheers
Mike
