M7 is a bit of an oddball size nut on our cars. Almost everything is M6 (taking a 10mm wrench) or M8 (taking a 13mm wrench). The clutch adjustment nuts are about the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that are M7 (and take an 11mm wrench).

My 1974 motorcycles use M7 bolts to hold the gas tank. It was a bit of a challenge to find replacements.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I could be wrong though, it's been a long time since i had to fiddle with those. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

On a factory /6, IIRC, they are a 6mm cap head screw. |
