What size are CAT studs?

Post by NafemanNathan » Wed Apr 23, 2014 3:24 pm

I've not got either of my Cat's to hand, but know one of them has studs. So can anyone tell me what size the studs are before I go home today?

I imagine M10, but they could be M12.

Yep, original studs are M10x1.25, which is a metric fine (standard pitch is 1.5)

If you're knocking the studs out though (they just hammer through, not welded or owt) you can use any M10 bolt of course.
