Inner fender bolt specs (1 Viewer)

[COS80]

Does anyone know the thread size on the inner fender bolts? I want to switch them to button heads, and my wife is going to the hardware store while I'm still at work.

That's a loaded question; most are M8 x 16-mm long, but there are a scant few M6 x 16-mmm long in various places.

Ok, thanks. It'll just have to wait then.

After two friggin hours with the power washer, I got these swapped over tonight. If anyone else ever needs to know, mine were M6X1mm X 20mm with 10mm heads. As it turns out, I have a whole small-parts drawer of button head M6X1mm X 20mm screws.

Also, am I blind or are these bolts only in the front?

Got a photo of what you're working on?

Yes.
Rear fenders are welded pinch seams

Yes, I replaced the tall, sharp, tire-eaters:

With these short, pillowy-soft button heads, because the new tires were hitting them under flex.

I can't believe it, but replacing those bolts has resolved 90%+ of my front tire interference. I drove over some pretty serious moguls today (enough pitch to get hung up on the sliders) and nary a peep from the front tires!

You could go even flatter
