I can't seem to find this anywhere. I need a 14 mm x 2 120 mm bolt
full thread, to mount a trailer hitch to me 93 Volvo 240. Any ideals?
I have called a lot of places and the full thread seems to be the
problem.
Thank you
Joe

I assume the reason you want metric is because you have a metric
-sized hole on the car (or similar). You could get an imperial one
and use a tap & die set - to either change the size of the hole - or
cut a new thread on the bolt... Hint: Most mechanics should have a
tap & die set.

Or you could get a metric bolt... Try going to something like an industrial
supply company that would sell that type of hardware, if you in the USA, in
Canada it should be easier to get a metric bolt... in Europe, they should be
everywhere.

Assuming you want the bolt that replaces the bumper shock bolt in the
trunk, just get them at the Volvo dealer. Assuming they're still
available, that is. Try ordering bolt part number 946887, and there's a
sleeve that spans the distance from the bottom of the bumper shock to
the frame rail, part number 1343561.
 
If it's a Volvo tow kit then try Volvo. Otherwise I would have expected a
decent bolt shop to be able to supply. I have found some replacement bolt
impossible to get unless I go to Volvo. Brake mounting bolts and stuff like
that. Can get them but not the correct grade.

I called the dealer with your numbers and I should have the bolts in
my hands by Tuesday. Can't thank you enough.
