Steering Coupling - Fine thread required?

Is a fine thread required to secure steering couplings? If so, have people gone for 5/16 UNF or M8 fine? Hex set screw or hex bolt?

Thanks,

Stuart

a coarse m8(x1.25) bolt is perfectly adequate

Thanks for the confirmation, that's the answer I was hoping for too!
