          Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, lol. Overall diameter to the outside of the threads is 9.82mm bolt diameter minus threads is right at 8mm.

                  Threads are measured by the "major diameter", which is the outside diameter of the threads; you don't subtract the thread depth.
