Thanks everyone for your help.
I took your suggestions and cut down a cheap set of calipers, worked well.
Using the calipers and cross referencing with the known sized holes I drilled, made it easy.
It turns out this truss rod was a 5/32 thread. So I made a new truss rod nut on the lathe and the guitar is finished now.
