Fender Hardware Sizes

I have received a few emails requesting the size of the hardware for the front fender to steering column.

Thanx to Eric W., who provided me with this:

"I just put the fender on the fork friday. The top of the fender is 3
slotted m3 bolts. They are 3/4 inch in length. The two on the side of
the fender are slotted m5 bolts. They are 1/2 inch in length." -- Eric

Correction:

"Yeah, the top bolts are not 3mm. They are 5mm x .80 x 18mm hex head bolts, no markings on the head. Good place for stainless since you can polish off the bolt head markings, and it's a non high stress location." -- Paul

I think there are only two bolts on the top of the fender, and surely they are larger than M3. Probably M4 or M5.
