Just sent my engine grill lid out for powder coating and need to know what size speed nuts were on this. Anybody know off hand what size or can measure one the of posts for me. I should also add this is not for the letters but for the grill itself.

Thanks

Thanks aaron but I need to know the inner diameter not outer.

Inner diameter size?

Small!

I don't believe that inner diameter measurements are typically used for nuts.

If you don't want to use the factory clips, why not just take the grille to your local hardware store and find a speed nut or other fastener that fits?
