I am trying to secure my '85 22R engine to a stand, but the stock bolts are too short. I sized the bolt at the hardware store as a 12mmx1.25. I have tried almost every hardware store and the net for that size, but I can’t find a longer bolt that shares that diameter and thread pitch. Did I size it wrong? What is everyone else using?

That's the right size. I found some at ACE. They're out there.

 

Thank you!

I have some I don't need if you want to go through the hassle of shipping them.

 

Look for a bolt shop, every decent sized city has one, they are just generally a little out of the way. Might try a google maps search for one in your area.

 

Jason,

Thank you, I might have to if I don't find them here. I'm going to try the bolt shop as Swansen suggested. I'll let you know.

They have them at mcmastercarr.com com as well. 5" long is the longest.

 

sometimes those stores are called "Fastener Stores".. like these:
