Star Nut Setter Dimensions

I have the tooling, material and the time, and desire to build my own star nut setter. Can anyone provide me with the needed critical dimensions of one?

See: https://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=67

I'd assume the only real critical dimension is setting the star nut 15mm (9/16") below the top of the steering column.

Can anyone tell me what thread most star nuts/top cap bolts are? I've got to tap this thing before I leave today.
