[Mk2] [Generic] What thread are on the droplinks?
As title really, I've lost a nut off my droplinks and don't have a spare lying around anywhere! Are they M8 fine?

Be warned that not all drop-links have the same threads.
I bought a set of 4 and found that the nuts off the front wouldn't fit on the rear DLs.
Course, I only discovered this after trying to tighten the nut onto the DL.
I managed to salvage the thread on the DL by recutting it and I needed an M10 x 1.5 die.
Like I say though, the nut off another DL wouldn't go on it so some might have M10 x 1.25 threads.

All std toyota drop link are the same 10x1.25 thread .. if you get an aftermarket english drop link its likely to be 10x1.5 ... for some reason the japs like the finer pitch stuff and we dont!
