Bolting in rollcage....bolt question! (1 Viewer)

[alex e]

Is one corner bolt on each wheelwell mount an M12?

I can see three of them are M10X1.5X20 or so, but that last one is bigger than the other three. I gotta sort though my bolts for an M12, but figured someone would know offhand.

I found that little detail out tonight while trying to bolt in my new cage. 3 of them are 10x1.25 and the other is an 12x1.25

Been there and done that...

Actually 4 of them are SAE, not metric. The ones for the rear seat belts, two on each side. I believe it's DOT spec.

Hi All:

What are you guys talking about??

Are you speaking of the factory "roll bar?" Who cares what bolts it came with - just fit whatever SAE grade 8 or metric grade 10.8 bolts will fit.

FYI - the factory "roll bar" is *not* a "roll cage," and in reality should be replaced with a real roll cage before doing hardcore off-road trails. Just my US$00.02.

Regards,

Alan

Not sure what language you speak, but I think you are looking for the layout of which bolts are the 'odd ones'. They would be the ones at each mounting plate closest to the center of the bed and the forward most.

The x = seat belt mounts

You'll get no argument from me on either point. The thing I believe the OP has discovered is that one 'captive nut' is a different size at each of the OEM locations.

Its a simple 7/16th Fine thread bolt. Actually you can find this bolt everywhere the seatbelts attach to the body. My understanding is thats its a DOT requirement.

That's what it is... I've been struggling with those bolts for years.

Are the ones at the rear for the original jump seat belts?

Yes, there are four in the rear for the Jump Seat-seat belts.
