FJ40 rear view mirror bolt (1 Viewer)

[TexFJ]

I'm trying to clean up bonded up holes for the rear view mirrors and was hoping to tap them, so I didn't want to screw it up ( pun intended)

Anyone know the diameter and thread width? The bolt number is 93239-15012, which states

Tensile strength of 1T
50mm diameter
12mm length.

I have to believe this isn't 50 mm in diameter. Is it safe to assume that it should be 5mm diameter?

What year truck, what style mirror? I may be able to help given a little more info.

Yes, 5mm diameter.

Thanks!! I remember that my 80's rear view mirror bolt had a finer thread pitch than 1.25mm. Would you say the FJ40 deviated from the standard 1.25?

I guess I could just buy the OEM bolts and measure, instead of trying to hurry up and install non-OEM bolts.

The "modern" standard JIS thread for M5 is 0.8mm.

Thanks, Now I don't have to wait 3 weeks for the bolt.
