Im Dumb, what bolts for my bull bar?

[taslucas]

Well, i got a few 1/2" unc today and just tried them then. They do up nicely with fingers but get to that last two or three turns to go and bind up. Its exactly the same on all six nuts. And the 1/2" unc go in the same amount and feel exactly the same as the metric 1.75 that i had??? is that weird?
Could it be that the last time it was mounted it was slighlty cross threaded but the bolts werent long enough to go all the way through the nut. OR they have vibrated around a bit and wrecked the thread? It doesnt look that way to me but i dont really know how to tell.

Are the bolts painted? I had this trouble once and it was just paint or something on the bolts so did them up with a spanner and all was good.

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

Nah ive just had a better look and it appears the thread inside the nuts is flogged out. Maybe the bolts werent done up tight enough in the past letting them move and vibrate around and flog out the thread?

Ok so a 19mm spanner fits perfectly (snuggly, no movement at all) onto the nut. That means it i should use the metric bolts i got? Whack em in and crank them past the last two rows of thread that are the problem?

X2 said this earlier. I would use the 1/2 as they are slightly larger in diameter so will far better integrity.

Maybe Lucas is having a blonde moment.
But this could become a sticky on the HISTORY of 1/2" UNC bolts Pweh
Hope everyone was paying attention, might be questions later
