DirtyJeepGuy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I got a 86 2.5l 4x4 as a project. On the throttle body is 3 studs. Completely missing the nuts for them. Does anyone know a size by chance? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 If no one has an answer I will try to remember to look tomorrow, I have my old TBI unit still hanging around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 6mm is an incomplete thread size and would mostly be useless. All it gives you is the nominal diameter of the shaft. It doesn't specify thread pitch, which could be the common coarse (1.0) or fine (0.75), or any non-standard pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the Great White North but here in the US you will get 6x1.0 Other pitches don't come in until you get to 8mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Metric Thread Pitch With thanks to boltdepot.com Bolt Diameter Standard Thread Pitch (mm) Fine Thread Pitch (mm) Extra Fine Thread Pitch (mm) 4mm 0.70 - - 5mm 0.80 - - 6mm 1.00 - - 7mm 1.00 - - 8mm 1.25 1.00 - 10mm 1.50 1.25 1.00 12mm 1.75 1.50 1.25 14mm 2.00 1.50 - 16mm 2.00 - - 18mm 2.50 - - 20mm 2.50 - - 24mm 3.00 - - Size Identification: Metric bolts are written down as an "M" followed by 3 numbers. For example M10x1.25x35 The first number is the diameter, the second the thread pitch, and the third the length all in millimeters. The example is therefore a 10mm diameter fine thread bolt 35mm long. Thread pitch: The distance from one thread to the next, measured down the length of the fastener. Well, that didn't work out.\ http://www.raygirling.com/metthrpt.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Lots of USDM cars and components were designed and/or assembled outside of the US. Don't assume they use the US "standard" parts. Take for example the metric square tool for the engine block coolant drain plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
