I don't have access to a window motor at the moment but i need to order some bolts for it. I was wondering if anyone had the bolt width and threads per inch (for the hole with the metal in it).

It is a 3/16 diameter hole, but I am not sure about the threads.

We always drill them out and use 1/4-20.

But we always try and keep bolt sizes standardized to keep tool and fastener inventories simple.

95% of what we use is either 1/4-20 or 10-24.

The threads are actually in metric, I believe it is an M6. The other holes work well with 10-32's (standard).

its a metric #6 and it took us a long time to figure that out
the threaded insert is #6 metric we used 10-32's for the unthreaded holes

You can also thread the plastic for 1/4-20 if you are so inclined.
