I think the windscreen bolts are 5/16"UNF and are shouldered, but that was a long time ago, if they are about 8mm then it's 5/16"UNF... If about 6mm then 1/4"UNF....

Having said that about 1980 they went metric and would be M8 ...

I have 2ba threads and unf and metric.on the car

I found some 5/16 unf nuts and bolts in a unopened packet.
Courtesy of Homebase shutting downnd selling fasteners off cheap. So i bought about 30 packets of different sizes.
5/16 unf does not fit, M8 does.
My son and have plenty of different taps but not an m8.
