Does the RS not have the plastic pieces in trunk found in regular Evos?

I don't have the factory bolts, and was wondering what size bolts will work.

I don't remember what size bolts work but I'm sure if you go to some hardware store and tell them you want to try a couple out and see what works you could find 1 easily...To be honest I think they are almost about the same size as the bolts that hold up the stock chassis bars underneath the downpipe...

I went to 3 hardware stores today and couldn't find a single bolt to fit. I think those holes use an M9 thread pitch size? The sizes in stores jump from 8 to 10.

Can anyone verify the size of the bolts? This is pissing me off. Wish I would have known to order the bolts along with the bar, wasn't aware it didn't come with it.

Thanks,

I was able to scrounge around my various Lancer/Evo bolt collection and found two that worked. Here are the measurements as I can make them with my calipers:

Thanks Z Lancer... just to clarify , what size should I be looking for at the hardware stores? They seem to list all metric stuff as example: M10, 1.5mm 25mm(length?).

I had assumed the the thread width was M10 and 1.5mm the pitch/spacing?

I test fitted some labled 1.25 which were too small (width) and 1.5's which were too large (width)..

I know this was an old request but I just came across this post. Attached are a couple of pictures of my trunk. None of that fancy plastic for the RS...just peel back the paper thin carpet to get to the spare tire.

how much do those bars cost??

I do believe the pitch should be 1.25mm and M10. I'll be at the hardware store tomorrow and I can check my bolt against what they have an actually figure it out for you.

Usually around $60 or so new.
