5 Door Jimny's Door Accessory Mount Bolt Size

You know there are Allen bolt plugs inserted on the dashboard nut inserts where you install cupholders, mobile phone holders, bag hooks etc. You have seen the same type of allen bolt plugs on the nut inserts on the door hand grips?

The bolts that go into the dashboard accessory mounts are M8x1.25 bolts. Standard pitch thread for the M8 bolt size. The nut inserts on the door take M8 bolts but with 1mm fine thread pitch. Only MSIL knows why they used 1mm fine pitch nutserts on the door grips of the Indian Jimny?! The Japan spec 3 door takes same size bolts (M8x1.25) for the dash board and its front doors.
  1. For dashboard accessory mounts - M8 x 1.25mm
  2. For door grip accessory mounts - M8 x 1.0mm
The images below are of two cup holders mounted on the rear door of the Jimny with the M8x1.0 Allen bolts.



These are Carmate NZ810 cup holders, the top ring design imitates the design and the colour of the front round AC vents. These cup holders can be installed in door location and the dashboard location.
