What is the thread size that holds the front crossmember to towing eye bracket

Post by Gadgetborder » Mon Jul 24, 2023 1:42 pm

Hi All,
After a bit of help please.
I am about to change my front crossmember.
There is a bolt at each end that bolts through the bottom towing eye bracket. Its a 14mm head but what thread does it use as mine is no good and I will need to replace it.
Looks like an M10 but that size bolt just seizes in the hole and I don’t want to strip anything.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Thank you.

Wayne.

Are they not the tie-down hooks ? 53-395A/Y https://www.lushprojects.com/bongoparts ... mgno=.html

If so try googling the bolt number sometimes the adverts show the plastic bag with the bolt sizes on! https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100 ... =997561025
