That is possible. It appears to be a fine thread but SAE won't fit. I
just discovered that my good wrenches will not fit the bolt and the
cheap ones will. Five thousandths ... Probably the difference between a
good wrench and a cheap one?
I ended up changing it for a 'real' SAE bolt and nut. Had to do a
little tapping with a hammer to make sure the hex head on the bolt will
remain stationary.
Will I become my own DPO?
