Hi Jonathan
Ends up I have a spare ball stud and just measured it for you.
A little difficult, I measured across threads and got .186". A 10-32 die 
wouldn't
go on by hand.I tried a 5 x .8mm tap into the nut and it wouldn't go in?
OK got it figured. The threads are 10-32. They plated after they ran a die on 
them.
I ran die on threads and just a tad of plating came off.

So:
** The threads are 10-32
  The length of threaded portion is .390" with a rounded tip
  There is a shoulder on the .390" which is .394" diameter and ~.062" long which
isn'tthreaded
  Where you grab with a wrench (circle with 2 flats) has the circle diameter at
.312" and the flats .270" (7mm)
** The ball is .314" in diameter

Hope that helps
Ron P.
