V1 Subframe Bolts

[averageJOEschmo]

I searched the forum but didn't have luck find an answer.

I need to chase the threads that are inside the rear tubes of the frame where the donor control arms and subframe is attached. Can anyone tell me the thread size for the M14 bolt?

I had to chase those threads on mine also, a bunch of red powder came out, looked like loctite or something?!? not sure what was going on there maybe it had to do with the welding jig, I just put the bolt in and out a bunch of times. probably should have gotten a tap. you're smarter

Where did you get the chaser tool? My initial searches are showing tools that don't seem like they will be able to get deep enough.

The tap arrived and worked perfectly. The subframe is installed and ready to move on to the next step. Thanks @Goblinfanclub1234 for all your help.
If anyone else needs to do the same I'd be willing to send them the tap. Can't imagine I will ever use it again...
