Does anyone know the size of the nuts on the outer bolts of the front trans mount?
(1965 swingaxle)
The previous owner conveniently left them OFF!
Shocked

M10 x 1.5, but you will want to find the smaller 15mm nuts, not the typical 17. The 17mm socket will not fit between the ribs on the nosecone.

Outer nuts.... Trans mount to chassis connection by what OP stated not mount to nosecone.... Box/Open end wrench fits just fine if you can not get socket in there.....
