Default Alignment tool "thingy"

Changing my wheels last year. I used that "peg" that you screw into the first hole after removing bolt so everything stays aligned. Well it snapped. I want to make or buy one out of steel. Does anyone know the width and thread size of the hole? Failing this post I can always take a bolt to my local hardware store I guess. Any help out there?

Default I CNC a few of those every Christmas out of Titanium for some....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/711/tistud.jpg"></center><p>of my closest Audi/Mercedes friends. The size is 14m x 1.5mm thread pitch.

Sorry, gifts only and I wouldn't consider selling them if I could get $100 each and had people lined up around the globe. I'm "giving away" 9 this year and these are the first 4 finished but not yet polished.

To date there are 46 of these on the planet (excluding this years 9) and not one was "bought/sold." In some circles they are a very prized and coveted gift. And only by not selling them can they remain meaningful. I dont even allow myself the privelage of owning one. But I do have a few stainless ones I made for my own personal use. Tho I'm not a source for these I thought some might enjoy seeing them.

There is probably no better car enthusiast gift than a useful, symbolic piece of perfectly machined titaniam. Nice Work.
