Anybody know what size nuts for bumper support bolts?

[luciusad2004]

Hey all. I have discovered that my bumper is held on by one, single, lonely nut.
It looks like its an M8 size nut but when i picked a couple up they didn't want to thread more than a few turns.

Does anyone know if they are a special thread pitch or anything?
I picked up M8 x 1.00 nuts i believe.
Could i possibly need M8 x 1.25?

Anyone think i could find anything suitable floating around at the store or am i going to need to hit up the junk yard and get the real deal?

My bumper also slouches a lot. Would this probably fix it? I tried to lift it up and it was better, but it's like it's bowed in the middle. I know the bumper itself is a little rusty last time i peaked in at it (body looks fine tho). Maybe I should pick up a whole new bumper.

Thanks for any input!

If you're talking about the four bolts that hold the impact bar to the front of the structure....two on each side....they're 8 x 1.25 on both my EF's.

Thats exactly what I'm talking about! Thanks : )
Are they a special shape or anything or might i be able to get a regular nut to work?

Its really hard to find anything thats X x 1.25 around hear tho.
