T55 bed bolt thread size

My old coworker was dead serious that there were bolts with metric heads and standard threads and vice versa lol. It is now used as a root cause when someone strips out threads.

 

That is the best kind of tribal knowledge and legend to have.

Thanks for the laugh.

 

This will make you a hero at ACE hardware, and anywhere else you need a bolt or tap and die.

I like this style because you can thread it into a hole to figure out wtf size hole it is, if you perhaps lost your bolt.
