    Tap/Bolt suggestions?

    Well, I managed to nearly strip one of the motor mount bolts (pass. side mount to body bolt, front side) - what's the best suggested tap/bolt size to repair this or are there other suggestions? Right now, there's enough thread to hold, but I'm sure that it'll loosen up if I start getting on it and the motor rocks back a bit.

    This is on the GLH...

    Is the correct size m10x1.5? I haven't re-looked at it to verify if it's the bolt or the nut that's stripped - at the time I just wanted to get it off the side of the road (bolt held for those 30 mi.).
