... on a DirecTV dish - 18x24" dish to be more specific.... I am trying to find the bolt size for the bolt that holds the triple LNB holder to the arm.

thanks.

if memory serves me the bolt goes all the way threw and a nut attaches so any bolt that will fit threw the hole will work.

hi, the thing is, i need to know the size of bolt that will fit through the hole - i am going to do an install for someone who already has a dish, but they are missing that bolt... just trying to get the exact size so i can go and pick one up.

Its a sh*tload smaller that 1/4 " -- closer to 1/8" and about 1 1/2" long; but as rainman says, any bolt and nut that fit each other and go through the holes will work fine.
