Real quick guys. I'm on break at work and I almost lost my chain guard on the way... Lost both bolts or screws that hold it on.  We have plenty of bolts here and all sizes.. Just need to get something on there before taking off...

I left the guard in the parking area resting on the chain b/c i didnt think and i cant match it up in hand.

What size??

Thanks!

Bringing a few different sizes out there... And a couple zip ties if I can't fit one...

M6 x 1.0 pitch. 10-15 mm length should do.

Yep M6 is the size.  Thanks.  Got one to fit, and used a ziptie on the other side to get her home.
Parking from work is a good 7 min walk, plus trying to fit several different bolts in the dark... fun times.
I'm going to stop by the hardware store and pickup a few extra today.  Threadlock is going on there too for sure.

Lessons learned:
Check/tighten hardware more than every oil change. 
Use threadlock. 
Add a flashlight and zipties to the toolbag.

I put a little bit longer screws backed up with nuts. Stay tight now.

A little annoying when removing but worth the trouble.
