I said Thread Pitch, not, oh never mind

Random specific question folks.

Anyone know what the thread Pitch is for the bolt that sits at the centre of the cross member under the bonnet? It is the top mounting point for the tow eye/front wing frame?

All the 50 and 55mm M8 bolts I have to hand don’t seem to fit.

Thanks folks

Steve

5/16" UNF if memory serves - I'll measure in the morning to confirm.

Correction: It's M8 FINE pitch (1.0)

If it's not been used before, it might have paint in the threads that may need clearing?
