i just want the dia size and length of the underside of the the head nuts,
i think it is 14mm dia x about 50mm long.
i could remove and measure one of mine but i am reluctant to loosen a watertight head on a whim.
i am thinking of making some "custom" head nuts if i can source some cheap material.
if anyone has one on the shelf they could measure for me that would be great.
cheers mark.

Whew!! I had to shovel through 10 foot drifts of snow to get to the garage, to get you this priceless info, so here it is:
Bolt dia. 13.84 mm x 82 mm to the washer face.
Washer face: 4.5 mm thick x 24.1 mm dia.
Bolt head: std. 14 mm w/ dome top approx 9 mm tall.
Thread is 10 mm x 1.25 tp x 33 mm deep.
Now I'll slug my way back to the garage to put the bolt and caliper away. OH!! Woe is me! :(
Cheers.
Fred
