M12000 hardware/mounting bolts size?

[rain76king]

I am trying to find the m12000 mounting bolts size, or if I have to, a part number.
Thanks guys!

I happen to have that info...

You may know already that the M12000 is strong enough and its mounting body parts soft enough that it has to be mounted feet forward (or buttressed upfront as is sometimes claimed), as discussed here plenty and also as shown in that drawing above. For some strange reason, lots of folks are not aware of that or don't bother, and obviously you could seriously damage the winch if you don't mount it properly.

I have a ARB bull bar. I think theres only one way to mount it?

Hmm... I could have sworn I used metric bolts on my M12000. M10 1.25 pitch maybe?

The above drawing is right. The bolts are 7/16 x14 x 1 1/2.

Did the older models use metric? I just got a used m12000, and based on the serial #, I believe it's from early 2000. There is a label that states "metric use 13mm wrench on M8x1.25 nuts" on the body of the winch. Anyone know what that's in reference too?
