Does anyone know what size bolt will fit in these captive nuts? They are in the column between the front and back doors, above and below the door hinge bolts. They look like they are m8 like the hinge bolts, but I can only get an m8 in about a quarter turn then it won't go any further. Different thread bsp? Many thanks

Would be very surprised to find a BSP thread there.
First guess would be UNF. Followed by UNC.

+1 looks like Defender and UNF would have been my first guess.
Thanks, it's a 2012 110 utility. My first defender and I adore it!What age of vechile are we looking at?
Maybe try the nearest imperial size, they can be a bit mix n match on some years.
Oh and welcome. We like to see whole car pics

Yes 2012 defender, sorry forgot to mention that in the post
Possibly metric fine thread (1mm pitch) as opposed to metric coarse (1.25mm pitch).
