Orange C16R Rack mount threads

[severnthheathen]

Help me guys please. Just got me a '95 C16R. What size bolt fits the rack mount holes please? They're a bit tight for fingers and I don't want to force anything in with an Allen key and knacker the threads. Been there before!! Sorry if it's a numpty question but better safe than sorry eh?

I think they should be the same as bottle boss bolts.

Re:

Yeah.

They've probably just got paint in the threads if they've not been used before.

Re:

As said, same as bottle cage. That is M5.

Run a M5 tap through to clean up threads from rust or paint.
