Battery Bolt size
Need some help with the size of the nuts for the Battery cable clamps and the Hot lug nut on the fuse box.
I want to connect a Battery Tender cable.
Thanks in advance.

No need for extra nut for install of battery tender system. Undo nut by fuse box under hood and use ring type connector for positive. Ground is a little bit further forward. No need to go to the battery posts.

There is a ground lug on the inner fender well midway between the fuse box and the radiator. You should see a ground wire already attached at that location. The stud at the fuse box takes an M8 nut and the one for the ground takes a M6 nut. Should be available at any hardware store.

Thanks for the help that was perfect.
I went to the local ACE Hardware here, Great nut and bolt source, and you can buy individually not packages. Too Great! M8 and M6 come in different pitch for threads. SAE is course or fine.
Plain, nylon lock, pinched lock, flange nuts. Plain Carbon, Galvanized, Stainless,Brass, Chrome plated, Nickel plated, Black oxide. Two full aisles worth. Spent an hour trying to find 2 nuts. Now I have to go back and get the correct pitch ones.
I am not living at my home, it is being raised and under construction so my usual assortments of tools and nuts bolts washers are not available to me
