What is the thread pitch on starter bolts - 1994 Acura Integra

because of the thread pitch and length.if thread pitch is wrong u will damage the thread and the bolt will vibrate loose.if the bolts to long the sensor wont seat correctly thus unable to correctly read

the mounts?
well we have a box of metric bolts. (all shops do)
we try each 8mm or 10mm, ok one fits but is too short
so we go to store,
and buy longer bolts, using a ruler to measure what i need.
say i use a ruler and see i need, 3inch long bolts.(gren'go inches)
so 3" x 25.4 is 76.2mm or 75mm. long... (just and example!!!)
so if 8 mm fits i buy grade 8.8 or better bolts. in 8x75mm

(buy 2 bolts on in 8 and 10) and test fit them.
there is no other way. unless you have threads there.
do you?
if yes, any ruler and pitch gauge shows you what you have.
say the hole of thread seems like .31 inches, that is 8mm
and the pitch gauge shows.
most bolts this size are pitch 1.25
fine thread is 1.00 pitch.

all good shops (serious)
use this gauge.

ends guessing , and can be had for $2 on ebay.

ok i teach how to fish today.

-What happened to the original one...? Just take one old one and
go match or get from junk yard.


Good Luck

Head Size ?

Thread Size & Pitch?

Remove one & measure it

You mean metric diameter & thread pitch?

You will have to mic the diameter & convert
to metric or just match up at a store

As a guess only--dia may be 1/2 "or 12mm & length say
2" or 50mm

.0395 is (1) mm

Whatever you measure dia or length wise, you
divide by .0395 to go to metric

They heat treated bolts,not a Home Depot
chinese item

jack?

8mm (not sure pitch but 50cent for bolts is easy)
i save all bolts, and never need to ask or measure them.
i have the measure tool but is hard t use on thin wall drums.
it is the course thread) 1.25 pitch
8x 1.25 bolts.

same as old (joking)
oh a trooper, those are rare here.

if you lost them ,
i measure the hole, in the starter, 8.5mm? a wild guess.

could be 10 or 12mm and is easy as heck to measure, that.

Id have gone to the store and got (my measured size)
both pitch sizes, in 8mm(guess) , and tried them. 1 will fit.

if you have the nuts still (you never said)
then use a pitch guage. $1 tool.
then the diameter ,yes, use a $1 mm rule. and read it.
now you have pitch and diameter, that leaves lenght
and id bet you can do that easy now. (the ruler)

Metric Bolts-- the smaller ones-- come in 3 thread
pitches,so you need to find the correct one
Take out one on the other side as your sample

I belive that your talking about the bolts that sucure the hub to the knuckle . 50 TO 60 FT LBS is good its not a super critial spec unless for some other reason they are comeing loose witch wouldn't have anything to do with the torque spec anyway . Torque is determined by the diamater and tread pitch as well the grade of the bolt so a grade 8 bolt is much harder and stronger then a grade 2 bolt and the thread pitch is lower on harder bolts so they have more threads per inch . You can also tell by looking at the head of the bolt the more lines you see the harder the steel the bolt is made out of is So like i said its not super crictial and if there lock washers make sure you but them back ware they came from
