Throttle Cable

I hate to ask this, and feel really stupid asking this...BUT, what size are the bolts on the throttle cable (lock nut and adjustment nut)?

I'm guessing like...14mm? I don't know, I don't have a set of metric wrenches and need to know which size to buy.

Yea, I started getting all metric tools... I don't plan on owning a domestic car anytime soon. I had an eclipse before this, which started me with the metric tools.. now my maxima, and I also have a ton of allen wrenches and other weird assortments thanks to my brothers vw and girlfriends bmw.. stupid germans!

Nothing like having a car all taken apart for a brake job only to discover the caliper bolts are allen. Seriously, who does that? (also, my brothers jetta only has allen caliper bolts in the front, and some weird bolts in the rear. the depth of the head is 1/2 that of a normal bolt, causing it to slip constantly and make you fear stripping it like you wouldnt believe.)

Makes me appreciate working on my car more!

Blahh. Most people I talk to (i.e. NmexMax) say their car has shifted at 6000 since they bought it new
