Hi, I need to know the thread size of the bolts that hold the front crossmember on (mk2 Escort) I know they're not metric... I'm going potty...Hope somebody can help!

What size is the head of the bolt??

I reckon it would be the equivalent of a 17mm and roughly an m10 thread in metric but i've already tried that size. Hope you can help.
