But I'm not 100% sure the ID is an M8. It could be an M10, in which case I'll need the larger M14 OD, which means I'll need another bit and tap to open up the hole even more!
Ewww. M12x1.25 is a rare fine thread. Rare besides lugnuts I guess. M12x1.75 is "standard".

You should measure the hole size with that fancy Harbor Freight digital caliper to be sure what you have (M8 or M10).
