Anyone know offhand what size the steering wheel nut is? I'm guessing there's a possibility I might not have to shell out $30 for one nut. Probably some weird thread pitch or something though. Still seems a bit steep.

Another mystery thread size has cropped up ... the wheel hold down bolts for the dished hood. I have a pair, but they're in pretty rough shape. Went to a place with a pretty good selection and tried every possibility and no matchy matchy. Any ideas?
(The steering column might be 11/16 fine, but it's an odd size, so I'll have to look further.) -
I think I got mine from DAP ...$10 or so.
Don't know the hood ones- I used some metric ( i think) chevy

Ike, I agree on paper (ie: that's sure what they look like). But damned if I could get a 1/2 nut threaded onto the bolts I have (though they are pretty banged up), and I also couldn't get a new bolt to thread into the hood. Er, bonnet.
The conventional wisdom seems to be err on the side of "Ike's right." So I'll try 'em again.Comment
