pulley nut

i have a 1968 1300 engine and was wondering what kind of thread the bolt is which connects the pulley to the crank case?

i had to run a tap thro mine when my blower pulley decided to undo itself and strip the thread
dont quote me till i double check but pretty sure its M20x1.5

thanks guys! i had no idea that a bolt could be so stubborn - we ended up stripping the hex pattern with the holy shit bar and had to bury a cold chisel in the side of it and bash it till it gave up!! now i have the crank case apart, im gonna clean it all up and put it all back together... any problem areas i should look at before i do it???
cheers luke
