Default Alternator terminal size

99% done with my big three, and I drop the nut for the battery cable, and it didn't go through to the floor. Apparently there's a black hole in the front crossmember that stuff falls onto, never to be seen again.

So, does anyone know off the top of their head what size and thread pitch the stud on the back of the alternator is? It's the threaded stud that the cable from alternator to battery positive goes to.

Thanks in advance!

So, after posting, I realized I could unscrew the whole post from the alternator, and take it with me to determine the size.

Turns out it's an M8-1.25, in case anyone is wondering
