    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

    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.
