SOMETHING has gone awry with one of the fairing mount holes on the front of my muffler. The bolt will only go halfway in, and stops dead. I can't see any obstruction, and there's no damage to the bolt. I'm thinking I may need to run a tap through the mounting hole and clear it out. Can anyone tell me exactly what size I need to buy? I have no idea what these bolts are....

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, they're 1/4 x 20.
