How do I find the correct thread tap size for a factory 13mm bolt hole? I have a 2018 ram 1500 and I've been trying to install this S&B cold air intake. The problem is that the 13mm bolt that connects to the bracket on the air box and then bolts into the fender well will not fully tighten because the bolt hole is stripped. As a matter of fact, if I try to use a ratchet to tighten it, the bolt actually gets looser. I really want to avoid spending a couple hundred bucks on a full tap and die set, especially since I won't be using 99% of the parts and since you can get individual taps on Amazon, I was wondering if anyone knew the correct size to get. I assume since it's a 13mm hole that I would need a 13mm tap but as far as the pitch goes, that part I'm not sure of.
