    Hey all,
    So I put a new front bumper on from Victory 4x4. I cross threaded one of the mounting studs on the front OEM frame mounts. I am looking at the thread repair tools from McMasters here: https://www.mcmaster.com/rethreading-dies/wrap-around-thread-repairing-dies/ but I need to know the thread pitch/size of these studs. Does anyone know where to find this info? Thanks in advance!

    I don't know off the top of my head and I'm not very good at guessing metric threads but you could take a nut from one of the other studs and thread it onto known size bolts to find out.

    The bolts are welded to the frame. I only have spare nuts that go on them, leftover from the stock bumper. I can get a thread pitch testing tool, but don't want to spend the coin. I know this info is available somewhere like maybe a dealership?

    Just go to Lowe’s/HD. They have common sizes mounted in their hardware dept to test. That will at least get you the pitch and diameter.

    Take the nut off the studs and thread it onto a actual bolt, of which you know the thread size... You know, like the ones at a hardware store.
