Bolt size to for engine mount stand?

What size bolt is needed to mount the motor to a stand? I think M12x1.75 but I'm not sure the length.

Can anyone confirm?

As mentioned in the PM, I believe your M12 X 1.75 threads is correct - it's then just a matter of length in millimeters. The hole will take 25 mm no problem, but 30mm will bottom out before cinching. Take the length of the spacer on your motor stand, factoring 25 mm as one inch, and add that to 25 mm. That will be the length of bolt needed. Many stands need a 90 mm bolt, but sometimes only a 100 mm bolt is available. I have seen pictures of motor stands where the member has done the same thing I had to do: I took 100 mm bolts and used about 3/8" worth of washers to get the bolts snug. You can barely see the washers at the bottom of this picture:
