I realized I forgot to buy the bolts when I bought the new gear (and my cam did not come with bolts), I cannot justify spending close to $25 for shipping alone for 5 bolts (plus another $6 to $10 for the bolts).
A quick google shows the bolts as being 5/16-24 , sound right? |

The original bolts were rivets.
Your aftermarket cam will use whatever bolts the cam grinder (or manufacturer) tapped the holes for. Whose cam is it? --DD |

Hopefully the grinder can tell you; that's an unfortunate size to test since M8x1 is pretty close to 5/16-24... |

I was asking earlier since I was work and wanted to stop on the way home, no big deal to wait for Marks offer.
Decided to check once I got home, metric is close or at least my checker wouldn't thread all the way in. The 5/16-24 fit perfect.   |
