Starter solenoid nut size?

Somehow managed to lose the nut holding one of the power leads onto the starter solenoid.

Parked it to go into the store, came back out to start it and it wouldn't crank (still had accessory power), after towing it home, and going to jump the starter saw the wire hanging out there, fired up just fine after I put the wire back on the post but the nut was nowhere to be found.

No idea what size the small nut is, and cant find any information in the book or with google. Guy at napa was trying to get me to replace whole starter/solenoid, all over a stupid nut.
