maybe 8 x 40 x 1.25 is what you meant? (8mm diameter, 40mm long, 1.25 thread per mm pitch)

Not necessarily to correct Matt16, but to make sure the original poster understood what the numbers meant.

I gave the length in inches as most Americans don't know beans about metric. Precise length doesn't matter as anything between 1/2" and 2" would work fine.

That does not mean it had a bolt which was 8 mm diameter and 1.25 mm thread pitch.
So, like I was trying to clarify to the original poster, you meant an 8 millimeter diameter bolt, with a 1.25 thread-per-millimeter thread pitch, with an approximate length of 1 inch... which is why I suggested 8x40x1.25.
Either learn what you're talking about and how to describe it properly, or learn to work with the people that know what you meant and are trying to help you out.

Hey if Obama changes us over to the metric system it would bring us up to par with the rest of the world. There's a reason no decent scientist uses the imperial system.
The screws I got are M8 x 1.25 x 16 BTW.
All I need to do now is bleed the breaks and jump the battery!

I have at my local ACE...Home Depot and Lowes suck for any selection of fasteners and are way over priced
edit: Kenny-I agree with you about the Metric System...Jefferson or Adams tried to get us to convert when the country was young....glad you found the bolts you needed for your Brakes...

Who lit the fuse on your tampon? Smarten up now, this is hardly a thread worth insulting people. My mother would figure out what to get if I asked her to pick up a "8mm x 1.25 bolt about an inch long" was. If she didn't, she'd go to the front desk at the autoparts store, give ask for the bolt and even the acne-ridden 13 year old would figure that one out.

I guess next time someone has a problem with ignition timing, charging systems or just wants to get chastised, I'll hand them over to you... I shouldn't try to make sure the spark occurs on the proper cylinder and should just tell them to ask your mother for advice because she'll just figure out the next best person to ask.
Yeah, really intelligent response.
