Default main studs

I just went out in my garage and checked the studs on a block I have here for you. They are 10 mm X 1.25 pitch.

Ace should have them, if not try Home Depot or Lowes.

Many tap & die sets come with a thread gage that you can actually measure unknown threads with.

Just regular old nuts, other than the fact that they are metric. Thx Steve!
