Doh! Need steering wheel retaining nut! Help :)

What size is the steering wheel retaing nut? I managed to lose both that and the clip.. I dunno how I did it, everything else is in the baggie..but those are gone.

If anyone knows the side, or better yet has an extra clip n' nut, let me know please.

I don't know the size, but you may want to take a trip to the junkyard, find a 3rd-Gen, pull it off, and stuff it in your pocket. Its small enough that they'll never know.

i'll guess 5/8"-11 but i don't know for sure. not even sure if it's course or fine thread, am pretty sure it's 5/8". it's a jam nut i think, if it is the height of a regular nut may be a problem.
