PC680 screw size
Hi,
Does anybody know the metric screw size for the Odyssey PC680? I'm not in my shop and want to buy the appropriate size screw. The data sheet I found online says M6, but that sounds mighty big to me.
Thanks for your help!
Martin

Yes, and you will need a 10mm wrench at your hangar. That is the only metric tool in my hangar.

M6 - OK. So now how long of a bolt for proper tighting without bottoming out?

1/2 inch
Mine was down in the shop, I measured it and it is 1/2 inch maybe a smidgen less, probably a metric equivalent to 1/2 inch. This holds the lug just fine.

Didn't they come with the 680? I thought mine did.

Those that came with my batter appear to be stainless steel , if that matters.

I so hate having to have both English and metric tools to work on something. So far, I've identified the following metric things: battery, the little bitty screws and nuts for the Andair fuel valve and fuel pump, and IIRC, one of the bolts on the starter (? at work, don't remember now). Grrrrrr...
It's bad enough that engine hardware is NC, not NF. LOL...
