Hardware Sizing for 70s Raleigh Grand Prix?
I'm looking for mounting hardware for my late 70s Raleigh Grand Prix for a rear rack. I don't know what size bolts to look for and was curious if someone had info about this? Thanks!

I have a couple of Records, and I've used 5mm screws in the holes for mounting a rack and fenders. They're adequate, but they do fit a bit loosely. I've recently been wondering if they might be threaded for 1BA screws.

Still learning
When in doubt, bring the bike to the HW store and try out the alternatives. I had a recent bike that took odd eyelet bolts and took it in to find the right bolts.

1/4 - 20 tpi should fit the threaded eyelets.
