Default Thread Size Help

Anyone know the thread size of the battery hold down j-hooks? I don't have anything on the Island to check the thread and a friend in the States is going to send me the battery hold down plate from another XJ, the nuts are missing...

Thanks in advance...

I actually went out and checked my 90. It's not 5/16 coarse. So it's 5/16 fine, or maybe whatever metric is close...

OK, 8mm is likely it. Just get 4, in two pitches and odds are you will have it.

I live on an island with no hardware stores, I let him know to pick up a couple of different threads and send them to me in the mail.

Thanks

You got a spare hammock for a week? . Yea I just gave it my best shot...I do have some common stuff here, and none fit. It measures exactly 8mm on my vernier caliper.....is the best I can provide.
