measure the thickness of the end of the thread to get the thread size, then from under the head to the bottom of the bolt to get the length.

if you measure accross the bottom of the thread like i said you will get the thread size, e.g M8, then measure the space between the tops of the threads to get the pitch e.g m8 x 1mm
