I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.

[quote=sperry;105916]Metric bolts don't come in "grades".

You're the only one that confused cap size with thread size... everyone else was talking about thread sizes.

I was under the impression that the bolts were either M14 or M12, both refer to the thread size. But as Dean pointed out, it appears the bolts are actually SAE threaded with metric caps (or possibly 1/2" caps, which a 14mm wrench works on fairly well).[/quote]


This is the only thing I was confused about. And now I understand that M14 refers to the thread pitch/size. Thank you for clear that up all knowing one.
