Thread count

[GSJake]

Does anyone know the size and thread count for the nut holding on my front turn signal? I removed them for painting and i lost one of the nuts.

Ace

The simplest and most foolproof thing you can do is to take one of the others down to either your Ace or True Value hardware stores (both have a good metric selection) and compare with their stuff.

year and model information would help
parts fiche sites often list the fastener with its metric dimensions.
or as suggested take one down to a hardware store....

Not to be rude but the correct terminology is pitch. (thread count)

Is this going to be another "my protractor is bigger than yours" threads?

Thread count also works with SAE fasteners: 1/4-20, 6-32, etc.
Metric fasteners give the pitch, SAE gives the count per inch.

Bike Bandit is a decent enough place to order parts, but of all the ones that I have used, they are the only ones that use their own numbering system. All the others use real Suzuki part numbers. Sometimes the bolt/nut size is encoded into the part number.

Yeah Steve 08310-00107 is the OEM Suzuki part number per Alpha-Sports site. Common to a lot of assemblies over a number of years and so on.....

The new part is darn pretty and chrome plated though so I would buy it online rather than get some less than beautiful equivalent.....
