Subframe Mounting point thread pitch?
Does anybody know the size and pitch of the nuts that hold the subframe onto an fc? I have everything ready to install, but i do not have any of the nuts to bolt it up. Just need the size so i can go get some new ones.
-Thanks in advance.

He bought the subframe from me.....for a car that didn't have one (i.e.-bare shell). Hi Andy! 
I believe they are M14 x 1.5, but don't hold me to that.

INFO:
the subframe mounting bolts and the DIFF Pin mounting bolts may look the same but they are NOT.
I found that out Unfortunately.My diff pin is almost wrecked because of a Wrong size pitched nut on there..the nuts are a Locking type nut.(inside taper)
My suggestion is to go ahead and Get MAZDA to order you the darn things..they are like 5 bucks a nut but at least you will not Screw up anything.
Order 2 for the Subframe mount plates( the plates that are also held on by 2 14mm nuts)
and the 2 for the Diff pins.( the ones that hold the Diff to the Car).

i agree on the ordering them from mazda also, i think they may be a higher grade nut than you can buy in a hardware store for the most part also. i actualy had a nut that threaded onto the diff mounting pin, but not one for the subframe mounting pins.

I will add one more thing to this. For anything under the car, the holes can gunk/rust up and will not take any bolt. I had a hard time putting my front anti-sway bar mounts on because no matter what bolt I tried, nothing was threading. Tried all the pitches: 1, 1.25, 1.5. Nothing worked. It turned out I had to clean/chase the threads with the proper tools and I finally got the bolts in perfect.
This probably doesn't apply to the subframe because I doubt you drove around with no rear differential, but you get what I'm saying
