What is the standard thread pattern for the lug nut bolts on 4 bolt wheels on a '71 914? I've got two stripped threads inside the hub that need to be tapped and rethreaded, but I don't know what size drill and tap to buy? Are german made nuts/bolts that are metric a different thread count than non-metric? What type of drill and tap set do I buy for those rusty bolts on a 914 that need rethreading?

14mm 1.5 pitch for the tap. Tap first, then see if you need to dill out. Make sure you use some lube. I keep some cutting oil around for such repairs.
