GPR hardware size?

Lost one of the large nuts to the GPR - I'm in Lowe's, anybody know what size the large nuts are?

I left the relay in the truck @ home didn't "dawn on me" to grab the nut from the other post to get the size!

IIRC it's a common size - I just can't remember what it is!

The size of the wrench or socket that fits on the nut has nothing to do with the size of the threads. The terminal on the GPR is not 1/2" in diameter.

I ended up heading home to get the other nut off of the relay so I can get the size. When I find out I'll post the thread pitch and size so, if some other "poor soul" drives 20miles to Lowe's only to have to turn around and get the other nut from the relay won't have to

The nut I lost is somewhere in the gravel under the truck. I dropped it and heard it "bounce" off of something down near the axle.

After looking for 30 min I gave up. I need one of those magnetic holders!

Much appreciated, but as a general rule I don't leave home without my nuts.

Grace period most likely. Newly married will still have them for a while. Someday they will be gone and you'll wonder what happened. Heck, I haven't seen mine since the 1900's.
