Default wing nut thread type? jack handle

Hello, does anyone know what thread and size the wing nut/or stud is for the jack handle (behind drivers seat)? The wing nut I have appears to be boogered up. I want to run a tap through it. I looks almost like a 1/4-28 but I dont know for sure.
Thanks
Chad
this is for a 1995.

Home Depot and Lowe's have hardware sections that have thread gauges in the form of studs and nuts so you can figure out what size you need. I suggest taking your wing nut there and testing it. If the threads on the wing nut are too messed up then the next step would be to find a nut that fits on the jack handle mounting stud and then go to Home Depot or Lowe's.
