I'm with 14K, but the problem with the add as shown is cutting off the size of the thread, but there is enough to speculate it to be a 1/4 20 bolt. The Asian's need to understand that the universal thread the world around is not metric but the old Imperial 1/4 20 bolt and nut. Like that hole on the bottom of all cameras using a threaded mount (like a tri pod). So much for metric being 'King'.
Although there are a few hangups where various odd threads have stayed around the world, like the camera thread I can tell you in the last 20 years that is about the only Imperial thread I have used. Everything else has been metric. Metric is "King" everywhere in the world except the US and a couple of other very small countries. Even in the US metric has made huge headway. So its not the Asians problem it is the US's problem. And the problem is their seeming inability to accept change.
I haven't touched my Imperial socket set or spanners other than to shift them into a smaller box. I don't have a 30 year old vehicle either so the sockets will stay in the small box. I suppose I should check them for rusting at some stage. I watched a youtube video earlier today that said most Americans don't even know where Ukraine is and that most R.........s don't even know where the US is. Says it all really.
