That's what I'll do, but I was hoping to tap the adapter this afternoon, so it will have to wait.

Everyone is pretty sure it's M14-1.5

My boy at Ford tells me the print calls out M12x1.75, and that rings a pretty loud bell in my head as well. He pulled the prints for the caliper adapter and for the bolt, so I'm going with M12x1.75 FTW.

Crap. I guess we're going all of the way to 5/8 then - oh well. Next time I'll wait before drilling holes.

or make a bushing...
