If the head takes a 13 mm wrench, it would be an M8 bolt and the nearest SAE size would be 5/16. If it takes a 10 mm wrench, then M6 and the nearest SAE size would be 1/4. HDG bolts are a bit oversize due to the zinc so YMMV (galvanized nuts are tapped oversize to match).

Should we be hitting all installs with Anti-Seize, or would we be better off just replacing the hardware with brass/bronze nuts ala LMG? I haven't used Anti-Seize before, is it a sticky mess to work with? Would the installers actually use it, or just screw over the guy that gets sent to de-install? I'm also thinking about how to easy it would be to re-deploy the Force Dishes.
