Default Front spindle thread size

Does anyone know the thread size of the front spindle on a 2004 Z06? I am trying to get an adapter for a caster/camber gage to fit the front spindle instead of using a magnetic base.

Not sure if I understand the question, if you are talking about older cars where you can pull the hub and bearings leaving the big threaded spindle facing you to attach to, then that don't work on a C5. The C5 hub is the spindle, it spins inside the wheel bearings, the outer bearing race is stationary bolted to the knuckle with three big bolts, the hub and bearing is one assembly and can not be serviced, it is replaced as one big expensive unit.

If you are talking about bolting to the hub, then that is the standard GM bolt pattern, should be able to Google that and find all the info you need about GM wheel patterns.

Sorry, I appear to have had brain failure again.
I have not looked at the front hub recently, and I was remembering that the rear hub has a splined shaft with a nut on it.
I may have to stay with the magnetic base, or go to a system that reads from the lip of the wheel.
