G'day Keith,
The measurements you have given us don't tally up even remotely with the picture. (not having a go at you  :D)
Get your vernier out and have another go.
Cheers,

You don't get this old by accident.

Hi Gaz.  I used a ruler and my calibrated eye to make the measurements.  Maybe the angle At which I took the photo may cause some distortion to apparent measurements.  I am away from home at the moment and will use the vernier when I get back home in the middle of the week.  So far no answers seem to fit the bill.  It is annoying when you have these bits left and did not find a spot for them during assembly.  Definitely not a radio as in my 50 + years of working with them I have never seen a mechanical part like this.

That's called a PARALLAX effect.
Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.

I'm with Sheriff. Yeah, bolt in the spare wheel well for the exhaust hanger with the stock tail pipe, but there is only one there. Been soo long since I broke down mine...

Most bolts that are being mentioned eg; ute tailgate bump stop, exhaust hangers have a square head like the bumper bolts not slotted like the ones pictured.

OK to make sure I didn't give the wrong measurements  here are what my digital vernier gives me.  I'll give them in imperial and metric.

Overall length -----------------    .60" - 15mm
Head diameter -----------------   .49"  - 12.4mm
Head thickness -----------------  .06"  - 1.6mm   The head is domed
Shank length from under head --- .19"  -  4.8mm
Diameter of shank---------------- .227"  - 5.7mm
Across the flats on shank -------- .170"  - 4.27mm
Length of thread -----------------.35"  - 8.4mm
Diameter of thread --------------  .147"  - 3.57mm 

So far the answers do not seem to be correct.  As I previously said this is not a trick question.

I think its something inside the door or qtr window etc but not a genuine one. But it doesn't look very used in the pick where it locates.
