    Thread size early car

    Hi Lads,

    Can you help please, I need to buy a tap and die set to clean up the threads on the captive mounting bolts and nuts that secure the shock mounting plate to the body on an early car, 2 bolts per mount.
    What is the thread on these studs ?

    Thanks David.
