TKX rear mounting tab thread pitch?

[cc2Arider]

Hey Y'all,

I'm in the middle of mocking up my drivetrain to my Roadster and noticed that the TKX rear mounting tabs do not accept a 7/16" - 14 bolt "cleanly"...

The 1st several turns from either direction seem a little loose, but the bolt doesn't go all the way thru with just finger torque -- I don't want to mess up the aluminum.

Is this supposed to be a 7/16-14 bolt or perhaps a metric?

Thanks for the help!

Go get yourself a thread pitch gauge. Then you can know for sure.

Thanks Rich -- very practical suggestion

The thread pitch did turn out to be 7/16-14... it just surprised me how loose it felt initially, then it had a tight region...maybe the threads got damaged a little in shipping since that's where it mounted to the crate.
