Dash bolt size

[Cadden]

For the 2 bolts on each side of the dash, what size and length bolt is it?
I took mine out to assist with installing a new ebrake assembly (months ago) and now I can't seem to find them

Searching the forums brings me to top bolt sizes

I would bet that they are 5/16", I just don't remember, never put much thought into them the few times that I pulled them.
You should be able to move the dash into position and see what threads into a hole.
3/4" should be plenty long, 1" probably fits and the original ones are body bolts with a captive flat washer.

I have buckets full of them and a couple parts trucks as well. I just cannot tell what bolts you are talking about from that pic.

Say you're sitting in the driver seat with the gauge cluster out.
On the inside of, left wall there are 2 bolts one up high one below but on the same line.

There's also 2 on the passenger side in the same spots I believe
You would have to remove them in order to remove the entire dash (as well as drill out the tac welds near the windshield, I think)

The electrical connector at the top of the picture is the back of the headlight switch

Looking closer at your avatar, I think my issue is you have a first generation K5 and I'm thinking squarebody.

I probably have the factory bolts you need once you figure out size though. Or I could fill a small flat rate box and send you an assortment to pick through. It sounds like you need a couple of the smaller body bolts with a 1/2" hex head.

I appreciate the offer for bolts but I'm only missing the 2.
I think you are correct they were 1/2 body mounts so I think I have enough enough to go get some from the hardware store

Napa carries the correct body bolts. pretty sure these are 5/16"

Yep. Just got some 5/16 bolts with that funky washer. Time to finish installing my intellitronix dash and get this motor broken in

That dash looks great!

I especially like the programmable speedometer. Came with the speed sensor that screwed right into my transfer case (or trans if you're 2wd) I just had to run the wires for it.

Once I'm running I just gotta set the thing to program mode and drive a Mile. It will correct my speedometer based on how many pulses it sensed for that mile

Price on the gauge cluster with speed sensor?

Right around 600 bucks. Looks pretty cool lit up. Also comes with oil pressure sender and water temp sender.
Life time guaranteed.
I was between this brand intellitronix or dakota gauages
