Default Anybody know thread size/pitch for the end of the 243 head?

Bought a used catch can and need to duplicate the bolt that usually comes with the kit. It's on the end of the 243 head, bolt generally about 1" long. If I remember correctly, the head was 15mm, which would make it a 10mm bolt?

Please advise.

Off the top of my head I think it is and 8x1.5mm but I'm not positive. I'm at my daughter's recital so I can't confirm. I will check later tonight and update.

Thank you. I suppose I can always head to Home Depot or Lowes and buy a couple different bolts to see what fits.

Thanks man! I remember from WAYYYY back that you can tell the bolt size because the head is normally 1.5x the of the bolt diameter.

Thanks for the backup.
