Mnr rod ends?

Does anyone know the exact model of car the Mnr track rod ends are from? And the thread size of the rod end to steering arm nut? The m10 nuts I have don't fit and not sure if they are m10 x 1.0 or m10 x 1.25

Not sure of the make of the car, but if you put a 6mm bolt next to thread and they match it is 1mm pitch, if you do the same with a 8mm bolt and this is the match then you have 1.25mm pitch. Just a way to check if you don't have thread gauges

Thanks andy. Don't have any tooling like that. Just a hammer and a garage

I don't recall the size/thread pitch, but I remember mine had powder coating over the threads that wouldn't allow any nut on it...I had to use a tap/die set to clean out all of the threads.

*I think Andy is saying to use a spare bolt you have to compare threads...that way you can tell if it's a 1.00 or 1.25 pitch.

Yeah, I understand what he meant. I will do this on the weekend. I meant I don't have a Pitch measuring Tool
