I am transferring my lights to a new tank and wanted to take the opportunity to replace the rusted bolts that hold the mount to the tank (assuming I can get them off).

Does anyone happen to know the bolt size that is used for these? I would like to order some in titanium. The manual calls it the “adjustment screw”.

Thanks in advance.

Once you get the bolt out, take it to Lowe's and go to their Hardware department. There you will find a board (typically hanging up) that has both metric and sae nuts and bolts on it. Simply match your bolt to some nut and that will tell you what you need to buy. If I were to guess, I'm guessing it's metric. I'd also suggest, while you're there, to buy stainless. And to be doubly sure you can get the bolt out again, very easily, buy a tube of Anti Seize Lubricant.
