Triple check it, but I'm pretty sure it was M6 x 1 mm threads (metric). Some of the holes go deep into aluminum electronics enclosures, I would not want to have to try to get one of those out if it broke. I don't remember if there was a lock compound, but they use some kind of silicone seal (light blue), probably for those who fill the frunk with ice liquid, I would guess to cut down on corrosion. I was thinking of using a tiny bit of some heavy grease, maybet the marine grease I use in a couple of places on the snowblower, but did not yet. They are all M6 x 25 mm. One of Benjiman's bolts was shorter and I almost had a heart attack thinking I may have damaged something, but it turned out he accidentally broke one (thus it was shorter).Do you remember the thread size of those bolts? I want to make sure I have a tap.
I think that some of the threads were slightly damaged at assembly by the motorized assembly tools, still binding after 10+ times removal during my 12V LVB studies, that is why eventually I just re-tapped all the holes.
