Through trial and error I have determined that the threads are 7mm, I can find that size in zinc, but not in stainless.

The bolts come through the top of flange of the light casing and are exposed above.

Is there something I can cover them with to protect them from the elements ?

Should I just tape them up real well w/blk electrical tape ?

Where can I find 7mm stainless ?

Thanks to everyone that contributed.


Don't think you will McMaster does not list M7 in stainless and if they
don't have them doubt anyone else will.

I can get 7mm stainless at my local ace hardware but maybe it is just
a Florida thing.


They have them at my local Ace and a local family owned hardware store
that puts HD and Lowes to shame, with exception to lumber.
