Does anyone know the thread size for skateboard hardware?
Like, If I wanted to go to Lowe's and get some spare nuts and bolts for my trucks, what would I look for?

I recently did that too but i forget the sizes. Its a lot cheaper and can save the day if you break a bolt

I'm going to Lowes/Home depot now. I'll find out, and post tomorrow, so everyone can know what spare bolts to buy.

It shouldn't be too hard to eye them up.

Ok guys. Went to Lowes. Brought in one of the bolts/nuts from my skateboad, and Used their thread finder at the store.
It's US guage. 10/32 thread size.
The problems is that they don't have ANY 10/32 countersunk philips head screws, nor do they have ANY 10/32 nylon lock nuts.
I'm gonna check out some other hardware stores in the area, but I'm feeling doubtful.
I have, however, found a ton of online stores that sell nuts and bolts in bulk, and have all the sized that we skaters need.
