Jeff,
I checked with our Triumph tech guy and he confirms that 7/16-20 is correct.

If you are doing a restoration, you should probably learn one of the tricks. Most (not all) of the nuts & bolts have a "standard hardware" part number consisting of two letters and 4 digits. You can look these up in the factory "Spare Parts Catalogue". Reprints are available, or

Then look up the number in the Standard hardware catalog:

(Sorry the scans leave a lot to be desired, I'm slowly improving them. But they are usually legible if you zoom in far enough.)
For example, the nut for the lower fulcrum pins is TN.3210, which the hardware catalog reveals as a 7/16" UNF thin nyloc nut. (Which of course means that Shawn was entirely correct.)
