iirc M12 but a FINE thread.
These are special in as much as you won't buy them from Halfords.

I stripped one of mine ages ago and borrowed a tap and tapped the bodyshell thread with ease (and relief) as the bolt was ok.

You can get them from a dealer, or call David at Welcome to the API website as he will have millions of them.

 

on 5th go got it to bit on the last thread left and all waz good no need to get another now thanks,

 

Matey if its stripped the bolt threads - replace it. I did the same to mine and nearly ripped the gearbox frame off at the startline of a quarter-mile run. Grab a 19mm socket and ratchet - go out in the middle of the night and steal a wheel-bolt off a pug 306 or whatever - they fit a beauty. Or buy one.
