Needing A Screw

Mine are missing . . . from my rear view mirror. Perhaps I should explain . . .

My ’84 came with a pitted and cracked windshield, which will be replaced. But a PO had mounted a rear view mirror to said windshield, the original is MiA. I now have a stock mirror – but no screws. I’ve been to the local ACE 2 times now but got close but wrong threads. I don’t have a spare screw that fits properly to use as a sample.

The closest has been an M6 1.0 but it didn’t work. Is this possibly some sort of JIS screw? Technically I’m asking for a proper screw. Anyone?

Is this a screw or is it a bolt??

Screws have the smaller threads on the front while bolts have the same size threads .

Which I am sure you know

Now I have seen both used in different applications on Toyota vehicles

Was the M6 to big ??

Maybe a M5 or M4

I will check mine when it gets light out

Is this a screw or is it a bolt?? From what I can see of the threads on the cab it looks like it should be a bolt, but I can't swear to it.

Was the M6 to big ?? M5 is too small, M6 seemed like right diameter but the threads were wrong.

I will check mine when it gets light out Thank you

Mine was a 8/86 Production date.

Did things change who knows .Maybe some one with your year will jump in

Mine are for sure M6x1.00 it went on a M6x1.00 nut with no problem.

Did someone else force a1/4" /20 thinking it was the correct size??

Maybe the ones you got from Ace were in the wrong bin it seems to happen quite often in these parts

I really should have thought to cover the transmission before I dropped one bolt into it .

Maybe the ones you got from Ace were in the wrong bin it seems to happen quite often in these parts Could be its happened here

I really should have thought to cover the transmission before I dropped one bolt into it. Oopps, sorry. I've done similar before and it sucks. I appreciate the help.
