RTH Caliper bolt in a jam Helping stranded cruiser

[musthave]

When in a jam, I know there are a few locations on the Cruiser that have the same m6x1.0 pitch x 30mm long on the threads and 35mm overall bolts that can be taken out and used for the calipers.

Trying to help someone who is stranded, but I don't recall where those other bolts are located.

Anybody?

Try the wiring harness bolts @ top middle of the firewall.

Edited to add that they are the heater valve bolts

Bolts that hood the sunroof motor in place i think. If I remember correctly.

 

[musthave]

They're a m6x1.0 pitch they'll be big. Can't recall where to find 2.

 

[clx16]

Recovery loops under the bumper are big bolts. Don't recall if they are too big

 

[NeverFinis]

Are you sure you need M6x1.0x35mm? They are not big bolts. Long for a m6 but not big

 

[musthave]

The 2 bolts that hold the caliper on top and bottom sides. 17mm head. I believe M6x1.0 but could be wrong. On the trail, sparse internet.

 

[NeverFinis]

You want a M12x1.25 bolt. Huge compared to a M6 bolt.

Maybe front or rear bumper or tow loop bolts.

 

[musthave]

Sorry, I was thinking M6, but was completely off. Yes, let me see if it has tow hooks.

Bell housing bolts.

I used one in the past when stranded after losing one bolt.
For a limp home situation, I'd have no hesitation pulling two, just not two adjacent bell housing bolts

 

[musthave]

No luck with the tow loop bolts. Grabbing bell housing bolts now.

Bellhousing bolts worked they're headed home. Thank you @mudgudgeon @NeverFinis

 

[NeverFinis]

I would thank @mudgudgeon I only determined you needed M12 x 1.25 and not M6 x 1.00.

Glad it worked out.

I realized after posting, my scenario was with a 1HZ powered cruiser, but I was fairly sure the bolts are the same

Bellhousing bolts to the rescue. Curious what other bolts are the same that will work in a pinch. Always good knowledge.

I thought it was the seat mounting bolts that fit and easy to access

I think you are right. I thought about them last night, after the bellhousing bolts were used.

Seat bolts are 14mm head, 10mm thread
