Winstar 2 Riser Query

I have an archery problem to pose the infallible source that is the members of AI!
Having received a new bow for Christmas (goody, goody, goody!) I have set about fitting all the various bits. In the process of transferring the sight mount block from my old bow. However, the fixing bolts that worked fine on the old bow are too small for the threaded holes on the new, Winstar 2, riser.

So, in anticipation of a trip to a DIY store, can anyone tell me the size of the holes for the riser block? I assume that all the KAP/W&W bows *probably* have the same sized holes.

That's useful, but what I really need to know is the bold diameter and thread type (so I can buy the necessary). Anyone any ideas?

Thanks for that B E and Stever. All I've got to do now is to track a couple of them down!

You stand a better chance at an engineer's supplies or a motor factors. Most DIY places only stock 'metric' these days
