Default What size bolt is this??

I'm installing LoD sliders and it uses the factory bolt for the auto trans skid plate. Issue is that I have a manual, so no skid plate. Can someone tell me what size bolt it is? It is the bolt in the picture that goes up through the slider bracket and then the skid plate and into the frame. There is already a threaded insert in my frame, so I need the exact bolt/thread size. Thanks!

Apparently it is an m12-1.5 x 40. I can't find one anywhere... It's really frustrating when you spend $600 on a product and they don't supply all the needed hardware. As far as I can tell, anyone who has a manual transmission and buys LoD sliders, will have the same issue. It can't cost them but $2 to supply the bolts. Now I have to quit part way through the install and order $2 worth of bolts online and pay $5 for shipping. Sweet...

I haven't heard of that. I would call Chris at lod and tell him it was missing fasteners.

I havent had any problems with my LOD products. But it's kinda weird that Home Depot or Fasenal did not have the bolts.

I've found a few other posts on JK forums where people had to find the bolts. Apparently the 1.5 pitch is not standard on an m12 bolt (I can find 1.75 everywhere).
