So I went to remove my factory radio today in my 05', and the side retaining bolt that is a pain to get to must have been removed by the previous owner or the dealer.

I would like to put one in just to make it a little more secure.

Does anyone have a clue what the thread pitch and length would be for that bolt, or a possible part #?

Thanks

 

No one is going to steal a stock RX-8 radio. but it's probably an M6 x x 1.00 like most small bolts on the RX-8.

 

Right lol. I meant securing it from jarring around at all, I figured they put it there for a purpose.

I thought that might be the right size too actually, just didnt have an extra bolt on me. I will try it out and see, thanks.

 

No it's just for security, I have not had that bolt in for over ten years.
