Under Dash Metal Knee Bar Bolts

[dart330]

I loosened one of the bolts below the steering wheel a little bit during a wiring project and am not able to re-tighten it.

It is a long bolt with some kind of nut on the back, I can't see it to verify what it is. I can get a small wrench back there, seems to be between an 8mm & 9mm.

Any good method to tighten this back up?

are they the ones that can only be threaded once like plastic or something? I bet the nut on the other side is one of those annoy little thing spring metal type gizmo so engineer thought was great and saves cost of real hardware. i say zip tie it and have a beer.

11 mm and 7/16 are a direct fit... Nothing sucks here...

11mm is almost as rare as 6mm...good luck!

Why is it the American companies always use different metric sizes compared to Europeans? 10, 13, 15 and 17 is about all I need to fix anything on my old vw. Then Americans come along trying to go all metric and now I gotta figure out of its 10, 12, 14, or some other crazy size.
