Sorry if this is a re-post, but I searched and searched...

What is the correct hardware for bolting the center caps to the wheel on the SSII? I bought a set of SSII, with only 2 center caps and no hardware. I have now bought a set of new caps, but doesn't look like hardware is supplied. I'd like to hit up the hardware store on my commute tomorrow.

I found an image on the web, but it could not find the article it was posted?? Here is what I found, and I can probably match it up with a center cap and this image at the store (if it is correct).

Thanks in advance!

 

That's the correct bolt, but it's a special bolt. Good luck matching that up at a hardware store.

 

Oh fun... Is there a specification to that bolt size? Thread per inch? Nominal diameter?

From the image, I am judging it is 1/4" with 7tpi... I found this:

Their image doesn't match the description, and info does not give a TPI count...

EDIT - 14tpi, not 7!

 

Here you go. 18.00 for all 20
SSII Center Cap bolts

 

I got my bolts at home-creepo - a couple bucks for 50 of them.
They fit fine and looked just like my originals, except for the addition of a slot in the hex head, which of course cannot be seen...

 

The caps I ordered in must have been repops... they took a metric M6 thread.. got them installed today. Thanks for the help!

 

I'd put a dab of silicone or thread lock on the screw as well just to make sure they don't come loose. Hate to see new center-caps come off.
