Hi
Need some help from the 928 gurus that know every nut and bolt in our cars, please!
Just found this screw near the garage and I'm a little worried it might have fall from my car.Really don't have any idea but maybe from inside the door or door panel??Thanks in advance for your help if possible!
Regards
Photoshop says M6x50. The only bolts on the car in that size are oil filler neck bolts, emergency brake cable mounting bolts (full thread like the one pictured) and a shoulder bolt that holds the control pressure valve in an automatic transmission.
I'm not sure where it came from, but from the pic it might appear the bolt was only seated about 10MM - is the tip cross threaded? Some artifacts I see in the threads kinda support that if I'm looking at the picture right.

wow rob. what program do you have that tells you this information. this is incredible!
It all started with a vasectomy. I had to sit on the couch for a weekend, so I made a list of all the torque specs from the WSM. AO turned it into the awesome printable spreadsheet that people can use in the garage.
Then in another fit of OCD I annotated the whole thing with colloquial names so I knew what bolt went where. That took a while. So now it's easy to answer questions like the one above.
geez! some good information there. thanks for getting a vasectomy. if you want to get another, that would me great.
excited to see what else you will discover.
What are the numbers on that tape? mm & cm on one side, but 1 opposite 2, 2 opposite 4 , whats that ? 2-> 1 scale? Not inches, which is what I expected. Looks a bit like the CEB cover panel bolts in my car.

I've used the torque spreadsheet and it's pretty awesome. But I just checked the link for the PET spreadsheet and of course it's 404. Rob (or anyone), do you have a copy or a new link you can post?
