Motor mount lower nut size?
Okay, I've searched and maybe I am just getting to old for this but I cannot get the nuts to start on the lower end of the motor mounts! I also committed the cardinal sin of taking the lower nuts off (along with a plethera of other stuff to get the oild oil pan off / put a new one on)and then going away for three weeks in between so I am only 70% sure I am trying the correct nuts. Does anyone know off hand the size nut for the mounts? Also, have I forgotten some trick for getting the lower nuts started? I seem to recall it being pretty easy when I did it on my 2000 FI car a few years back. Mine hadwasher on them but so far I also haven't figured out howto keep the washer on and get a nut to start with just the crossmember access hole to work through? Maybe just go get nylocs? But i still need to know the correct size.

I am thinking 10 x 1.25 nuts? Anyone know of this is correct? Anyone? (sound of crickets) .
