Latitude bolts

[bosun21]

I have just bought a new EQ5 pro go to mount and I have stripped it down and re greased it, also replaced the bearings. I want to replace the latitude bolts but I am unsure of the thread size. Are they M8 ? Thanks

Can anyone please confirm the size of the latitude and azimuth bolts on a EQ5 pro? I have the M8 latitude and M6 azimuth in my shopping cart and just wanted to confirm before I pulled the trigger. Thanks

The bolts on mine are M8, coarse pitch. That is M8-1.25

I should have said those are the altitude bolts. The azimuth ones are M6-1.0

By the way, I can heartily recommend this item, even though it looks a bit daft.

I’ve just ordered the thread checker you highlighted.
