Hi Connor, Regarding the following part: "Replacement M6 x 20 T-Bolt for Thule Trail XT Cargo Baskets - Qty 1 Part Number: TH36JV", I am seeking a Thule M6 T-Bolt with a 20 mm threaded shaft length (not including the T-head thickness). Your prior response indicates this length is: "The Replacement M6 x 20 T-Bolt for Thule Trail XT Cargo Baskets part # TH36JV is 20mm or 7/16" long". Unfortunately 20mm is not equal to 7/16". If indeed the shaft is 20mm in length, then that would be approximately 25/32", or just a little over 3/4" long. Can you please confirm whether the actual length is 20mm or 7/16"? Thank you, Tom

@TomC The shaft of the # TH36JV is 13/16" in total length. It has a non-thread portion at the head that's about an 1/8" long and then the threaded portion starts. The bolt head is also about 1/8" thick as well. I've attached a picture above showing the bolt on a tape measure as well, the angle makes it look about 1/16" longer for a full 3/4" but it stops right at 13/16".
