Oh boy, I went thru that! 3/8" maybe? I found the little retainer clip at Lowes.

I don't know the exact stud size but the clip should be an inside star washer.

It's a 1/2" push nut. I know because I bought 100 of 'em from a bulk site. The local hardware stores didn't have 'em and it was cheaper than buying two sets of four "correct" ones off eBay. (The trunk nuts are the same) Now I have several lifetimes worth of them.

Here's what I got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-ea-Part...ash=item35d2777088:g:pOgAAOxy-WxTB65R&vxp=mtr
