Re: Roof bar bolts
M8 x 1.5 is the correct pitch for the thread.

Re: Roof bar bolts
and don't forget the length required, please don't try and extract the 'captive' nut.
the not very pretty washers adjust the length of contact without cutting the bolt. (corrosion)
ps the installation was a standard gutter clamp system with the clamp removed and an hole drilled for the bolt
(thanks to an old post for the suggestion, kirsty I think)
