Front license plate bracket bolts (U.S.)

[stevet]

My Z came with a bracket to mount a license plate on the front of the car. It has screws to attach it to the front of the car, and clips to which I can attach the license plate, but not the bolts to screw into the clips to hold the plate in place. The owner's manual says this on page 10-15.

"6. Install the license plate with bolts that are no longer than 0.55 in (14 mm)."

Unfortunately, it doesn't specify the bolt width to use. The back holes of the clips look slightly smaller than the front holes. I think the front hole is 7mm in diameter and the back hole is 6mm, but I'm not exactly sure. Does anyone know the official size I should use?

It's probably M6-1.0 x 14mm (12mm probably long enough too)

I definetly used 6mm, if not provided by Nissan with the bracket

My dealer kindly used 25mm screws which damaged the grill behind the mounting bracket!!! But confirm they are M6 size screws that are needed.

Haven't made on issue of it yet. I think they would if I ask.it is only visible with the bracket off so it’s not a big issue. Front plates compulsory in Australia anyway.
