Heres some pics.
Got a bolt off a mate that screwed into the nut but wouldn't go all the way through so the thread was slightly different. Went to bolt shop today and showed them the bolt they said it was 1.75 thread, gave me some with 1.5 thread and the damn things won't screw in as far as the 1.75 I had?

Hello from Under Down Under!
Go to the local hardware and get yourself some thread gauges. They are like feeler gauges but with thread pitches etc. get metric and imperial to be safe. Then all your problems will be solvedexcept for that rash. Lol

Wouldn't go all the way through the nut or only would get one turn into the thread?
If it goes pretty much all the way through then there won't be much wrong with the size. The nut might be slightly damaged.
yeah i just thought it would have been a lot easier than that. Its got to be such a common size. Annoyed that i had a bolt that was %99 percent right but now im further away!
Hello from Under Down Under!
most common would be 1/2" unc, thread looks nice and coarse

Possibly try a 1/2" unc but if you can get it that far through that would be the one I use. If its an M12 we are talking about it would also feel a little sloppy in the thread if the nut was unc
