Would put this in help section but seen as its rather important, thought id stick it here

I need some new bolts for my steering wheel:


But which size are they? Anyone know? 1 is missing, and all the others are rounded off. Theres all different sizes on eBay, M3, M4, M5 etc, and i dont know which i need.

Yeah but dont know what the measurements mean, like the M3, M4 etc, is that the size of the allen key that goes in it? Or the size of the thread?

The closest size to the outside diameter of the thread itself.

yea the M just stands for metric, measure the outside diameter of the thread as said, best usind a calliper or micrometer if youve got one? if not you could easily guess it with a ruler.

Take one to a fastener shop and tell them you want some bolts that are that size, also tell them they are for a steering wheel and they will give you the correct grade...
