Default Cobra trailer lug bolts

I am looking for information about the size of lug bolts used on Cobra trailers. Spindlebarger is currently closed until 10 August.

The Cobra manual indicates some lug bolts are 14 mm, instead of the usual 12mm. It also indicates a 15" wheel is sometimes used instead of the usual 14" (or 13" on older trailers).

I'd like to know how to identify which trailers use 14mm bolts, and which use 12mm. I don't have trailers available except my own, or I would just pull a bolt and measure. Mine is a 14" wheel, 5 bolts, 12mm.

If anyone out there in r.a.s. actually knows, please help.

Thanks in advance

The other painfully obvious choice, to avoid two trips or two orders, is to order BOTH and just return what doesn't work.... or save the other size to pawn off on an owner who had the other size on the airfield.

But then I'm the one who gets sent to the hardware store three times for one plumbing job. Smile.
