Thermostat housing stud size? 200 1990

Was cleaning up under the hood of my '90 wagon last evening and found that the support bracket for the hose that runs from the AC compressor over the cam cover had broken due to 20 years of accumulated metal fatigue. After I drilled a new mount hole and rebent the support into shape, I went to mount it in the same location, on the LH bolt of the radiator thermostat housing. While tightening it down, I sheared off the top of the stud along with the flanged nut. (Good work, I know. )

As it was late last eve when I did this, I started the car up for a few minutes and looked for any leakage around the thermostat housing. Seeing none, I planned to purchase a new nut and stud this eve to fix the problem. That said, I did not pull the other stud out to get the proper size - so my question is, does anyone know the proper dimensions for the thermostat mounting studs?

Thanks,
