Lost one of me nuts!

Had to pull off of the M25 yesterday evening with a strange rattling sound from the front of my MCS
Turns out that the air-scoop is now only held on by 1 nut and bolt...not a good idea!

Does anybody know the thread size of these at all?

It's due in for a service in a couple of weeks, but I obviously don't want to wait that long.
