Wing stay bolt
Hi,

I'd say M8x60, but it could be M10x60. Just measure the diameter.

More like M10, do you not have a set of verniers about?

sorry not up to scratch on my bolt sizes - verniers??
measuring the width of the bolt is 8mm so assume that means an M8?
I feel i may be being rather thick here!

what size spanner does it take?
13mm M8 17mm M10
Looks 13mm to me so M8 x 60. Do they need to be the same length? I may have aload of them kicking about but may be allen key head.

Cortina uprights used an 8mm thread as standard.

That bolt is a m8 x 60 mm
you measure from under the bolt head to the end
Do not include the head
