Threading on the CUCV fire extinguisher bracket?

[1 Patriot-of-many]

Anyone know what the threading is for the screws? I've tried several screws now without luck.

Is it shown in a parts TM?

Nope. The bracket yes, screws no.

Use a self tapping machine screw that is of similar size.

Hi 1 Patriot-of-many
I know this is an old post but did you find out the screws size? If you know can you please share?

Thank you!

I think they may be # 6/32" not 100% sure but go to a hardware store they are about .20 each. Most guys will let you walk in and out and try several sizes. But for less then a $ maybe not.

They are not all the same either - one of my M1009s had SAE size bolts, one took metric.

I wrote the sizes down somewhere, I'll see if I can find it and post. I just tried different bolts til I found the right ones.

Cheers

I've found a couple of places on my '09 where odd screws were needed. I ended up spec'ing them at 7mm. The problem was that they were not stock at any of the usual places. I finally found some at the farm store.

Thank you all! I ended up using metric M 4 x 0.7mm ($.82) from home depot
