  Not off hand, I can check my s2 tomorrow. I also checked the parts manual which normally has some breakdown didn’t  . Item 11 in the steering section. It also looks to be the same for all models.

I think I found it, 9/16"-28. An odd ball size, apparently same as Triumph's, which I think the column shafts are from?

Lotus bought them from the same place that Triumph did.  But not from Triumph.  Never-the-less, Triumph Spitfire bits are the same.
