#44278 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1603 Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Can anyone tell me the size of the bolts that mount the floor boards to the frame? They look like Allen wrench bolts, and I thought I have every metric size even close, but I swear nothing goes in and fits snugly, Thanks   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/10/06 23:47 By SobaCracka.   Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #44279 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4591 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   chunt, It is a 6mm, I just checked it .....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #44283 Randysgym (User) Tech Tips Publisher Posts: 209 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   I hate to disagree with Flashback but, assuming you are referring to the floorboard-mount to frame, button-head bolts, here's what they are: M10 x 1.25 (fine pitch) x 30mm (length). You're probably trying to fit a course-thread bolt in there. I got some replacement ones (with socket hex-heads) at a local auto parts store. It's a little trickier getting a socket on the bolt, because of the brake-mount (right-side). I replaced mine on the right-side because I needed ones a bit longer. I was adding some spacers to better clear my Rinehart pipes. Hope this helps.   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/10/07 08:18 By Randysgym.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1603 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Actually, Flashback, I was asking about the wrench size; I just didn't say it well. Funny, because the 6mm Allen wrench just doesn't seem to fit snugly. Concerned about rounding it out, you know.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #44317 Randysgym (User) Tech Tips Publisher Posts: 209 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Sorry, Earl. I misunderstood. Yep, Flashback is right. Go ahead and use a 6mm wrench. Just be sure you're using a wrench that's not worn. They do fit a bit loose, but you MUST be sure and completely get that wrench to the very bottom of the bolt-hole. I can't tell you how many times I've had mine on/off. I usually loosen the bolt a little, then counter-turn the wrench a little, so as to make the wrench snap loose from the bolt-hole. Then I finish unscrewing the bolt. I've been surprised that mine haven't stripped out long ago. Anyhow, if you ever do, you've got the bolt-size info now. Hope this helps.   Logged     --- Randy --- 113ci, Nemesis Engine Powdercoat: iridescent, gloss black, by DK Powdercoating Paint: HOK Candy Raspberry, Solar Gold base   The administrator has disabled public write access. #44318 Randysgym (User) Tech Tips Publisher Posts: 209 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Sorry Flash . I had misunderstood him. You were totally on the money. I was way off.   Logged     --- Randy --- 113ci, Nemesis Engine Powdercoat: iridescent, gloss black, by DK Powdercoating Paint: HOK Candy Raspberry, Solar Gold base   The administrator has disabled public write access. #44329 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13499 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   If your taking them off for the first time it might help to have some heat to melt the loctite.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #44349 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2827 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   First time I did mine I had to cut the head with a dremel and beat them off with a chisle I think some smarta** on the line used superglue on mine ....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #44414 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4591 Re:Floor Board Bolt Size 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Those ball tip wrenches are a great invention but be very careful. my set has a normal end on the short leg and i use it to break the bolt loose then use the ball end..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
