I need the thread size to the smallest bolt on a TT oil filter bracked.
With the intentions of fitting an oil pressure unit unto my oil bracket, I removed that bolt (the one right next to the filter) off my oil filter bracket. Took it to ACE Hard ware, and according to them it was a 10mm x 1.0, therefore I ordered the fitting from 10mm x 1.0 to 3/8 npt 27.
Apparantly it doesnt fit. I'm not sure if i messed up my bracket thread or if its just the wrong one. SOOO IF ANYONE CAN HELP WITH OUT THE THREAD SIZE OF THAT BOLT, plllease, I would APPRECIATE IT , alot. ThanksSSS

if the bolt is a 10mm, I will bet you the thread pitch is 1.25 or 1.5. A bolt that size usually doesn't have that fine of a thread pitch. If you can try and pull another bolt holding on to the same bracket and have them measure that thread pitch, they basically are the same, just longer bolts.
