  Or since you have already done it, and have access to a car in a much
  better state of dismantlement to provide the necessary data, maybe YOU
  could volunteer your services to him?
  And my 'simple metric nuts' observation was base on direct
  experience--that is what the 1971 cars used. The later cars use bigger
  captive nuts. How much bigger I don't know.
