Here's a pic of one of mine with a tap run in it to ensure that's the size. And, if you can't read the tap it says 12MM x 1.75. The bolt length is 1.350" below the flange of the head. There are a total of 5 of these on each side: 2 on the top of the frame holding the Z-bracket; 2 where the Z-bracket hits the crossmember; 1 where the crossmember hits the frame at the bottom. Hope that helps.

Gary, did you give him the bolt sizes for the cross member to the frame? I might be mistaken, but I believe he was asking for the nuts that go on the transmission mount studs that hold the transmission mount to the cross member. Normally I wouldn't question your posts because you give good advice, but he did say that it's a 40 minute drive for him to go get new ones. I've attached a photo for clarification:
If I'm right, I will check when I get home. If I recall correctly, I had to use a 3/4" wrench to remove the nuts from the transmission mount studs.

I gave him where the crossmember hits the frame based on this:
But, if he is calling the crossmember the frame then you are right.
GotFord - Please clarify.

Then disregard my previous dis-information. When I finish coffee I'll find out the size of those - on my transmission.
Mark - I'd rep you if I could. You saved his day. Thanks!
GF - Please rep Mark as I can't.

Some times even a blind squirrel finds a nut! Assuming your mount takes the same nuts mine do, and that's a BIG assumption, the size I gave you earlier is correct: 12 x 1.75MM. In fact, the bolt shown on the right edge, one of the ones holding the mount to the crossmember, also uses the same nuts.
EDIT: I was wrong about the bolts on the sides. Apparently I had the nuts jammed on them, but the nuts don't fit them and the aren't 12 x 1.75. I won't figure out what they are since that's not the need at this time, but for future reference they are different and probably SAE.
