Default Helicoil Insert

Does anybody know what size helicoil I would need for one of the water pump bolts? I was trying to line up the alternator belt properly and stripped the thread when I tried putting a washer on the bolt that holds the long J looking mount. I have the radiator out right now and would like to get this problem fixed.
