10mm x 1.5. Factory nuts take a 15mm wrench, store bought stainless / regular steel usually 17mm. I've used stainless on the K-car with success. Just about everything on our engines are 6mm x 1.25? (ex. valve cover), 8mm x 1.25, 10mm x 1.5, or 12mm x 1.75. Would you believe rear Shelby Z caliper pin holes are 9mm x 1.25? And I thought I'd never use a 9mm tap...
