There was a comment on the link I had posted that said metric and american sizes aren't supposed to be together. Basically your looking for bolts that long with the matching nylock nuts thread. Did you read through the A/C instructions since that is what is supplied with the kit.

I was just looking at them. There's a Fastenal on my way to work. I'll try to stop there tomorrow before or after work.

So the pitch 14mm doesn't matter, as long as I find a Grade 8- 6"x7/16 bolt and a nylon lock nut to fit it?

The Xterra Firm hardware listing says 6-3/8 locking nuts
The AC directions say-6-7/16 locking nuts
WTF?

Got the other bolts, had to buy 10. Ofcourse, they sold the nuts and washers for them by the bag rather than individually. They closed at 5 and aren't open on the weekend so, I didn't want to risk it and try find out no one else had them if I shjopped around. So, I got bent over the counter. Are we still meeting at 10:30?

I had seen that this morning but never got a chance to review the information today but I did print out the AC and checklist instructions so that we have a copy to work from. Beyond the extras purchased they should be fine. The special bolts are for the last and 2nd to last puck locations on each side and the ones you got today are for the other six spots (front wheel, front seat and rear seat.

I believe it is still on for 10:30 and I'll be there with camera in hand. :lol:
