Default What size are (and where to get) bolts for Roll Bar?

Hello,

I tried to search but couldn't find an answer.

I just got Heigo Roll Bar and now need bolts for mounting the rear bars.
I need those two bolts on the sides and two for the center tunnel mounting points (where rear seat belts are supposed to be mounted).
Anyone know where to get them those?

Hey;

Seat belt holes are metric, and unobtainable unless you get some factory bolts. 11mm x 1.25 thread pitch as I recall. That is a non-size if you try and look for them. Fortunately, in one of those odd little engineering anomalies, 7/16 National Fine fits perfectly.

I don't know about any other holes. Whatever they are drilled for I guess. They sell you a bar without hardware? Some deal!

Thanks for the tip about 7/16 John,

I was thinking if I can't find anything else, I could use those bolts that have ring instead of hex end.

I bought the bar used, that's why these four bolts are missing.

give CDOC or EBS a call. CDOC carries DAS and EBS carries BK so they should have hardware for this type of application. I was short a couple bolts for my DAS bar and CDOC overnighted them to me.

No affiliation w/ either, but they are both easy places to deal with.

Too much fuss!

I buy them by the box of 100 for my 944 roll bars. Whether fine thread for 7/16ths is 18 or 20 threads per inch never seems to stick in my head, but when I run out I just pop down to Sears Hardware or NAPA and buy some; grade 8 of course. No sense making it difficult and paying shipping for something you can buy locally.

Finn, those eye bolts you mentioned are 7/16ths.

Thanks John, 7/16 sure is easier to find than metric!
