What pitch is the thread on clamshell underslung spare carrier retaining bolt at the front

Hi all,

I'm trying to ascertain if the bolt that holds the cam shell up is 1.5mm pitch (Metric Fine), or if it's standard 1.75mm pitch to order a longer one.

I'm looking to extend the length a bit to accommodate a bigger tyre.

Thanks,
Mike

Winkles and whelks on the market stall in Cambridge?

Hang on - Rob's post is the one that I replied to, it was the 2nd post, what happened there?

Could be. I have never heard them called camshells before. I wonder what size tyres the OP is hoping to fit?

If that is indeed the case it's m12 x 1.5
