Anyone know where I can get M7 bolts & Nylocks? or Imperial Equivalent is also ok.

The bolts need to be quite long, i need a few at 100-110mm and a few at 55mm

Bolts need to be not countersunk and I need washers as well, probably 5 of each length with washers & Nylocks.

These are for bits that came off the RC car and got lost.

M7 is a pretty uncommon size, are you sure thats the correct size or is it just to bolt something back together that doesn't have a thread in it?

That said a quick google proves its popular in the moped scene...

What the Baja has is 7mm tubes that go through parts of the front & rear bumper which you then screw M5 screws into the ends to hold them in place, see pics:




Some of these promptly came undone and fell out when I was running the truck the other week.  (probably because someone forgot to Red-threadlock them...)

So rather than spend £27 the buy a new rear bumper kit just for the screws & tubes i thought it would be easier to get bolts & nylocks and swap them out.


I *could* also drill the holes out to 8mm and use M8 stuff instead

M8 would be easier to come by (I certainly have the washers and Nylocks and may have the screws at work)

I think I have some M8 stuff in the garage from the changes I made to the garage door setup a while back, not sure if I have a drillbit though of all things!

On a related but different note,  Dean (or anyone local really) do you have a 1.27mm or 0.050in allen key I could borrow for a short time?

Yes and yes.

I've gone for the M8 bolts & drilling solution in the end.
