EGR Bolt size / thread Size

Post by Jforce »

In need to plug this hole, but can't find any bolt that fits.

Seems to bo 13mm, cause 14mm bolts don't fit and 12mm are to small.

But I can't find any 13mm bolts.

have you tried a 1/2" bolt?
13 millimeters = 0.511811024 inches
.

Remember to find the right pitch size.
If you are in the US, Ace hardware is the go-to for me.
Otherwise order online.

I'm europe, hard to find an 1/2 bolt. :lol:

Might be 1/2 UNC? or 1/4 NPT or 1/4 BSP.

For anyone that's interrested.

I found that the correct bolt was an:

British Pipe Thread ( Whitworth Form) -- Parallel (BSPP/BSPF) -- (G)

Size: 1/4


A 1/2 inch UNC wil NOT fit, I haven't tried an 1/2 inch UNF that might also work.

While your in there you can replace that kinked hose. :D If that really is a pipe thread bolt??? make sure you use some pipe dope or Teflon tape when you install the new bolt or it will leak.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

It's not a pic of my car, my hoses are ok.

Yeah its really is a piper thread bolt, weird stuff.

Hmm haven't used any teflon or dope.

Did used a crush washer between there, and sprayed some carb cleaner to test for leaks.

Seems to do the trick.
