Default Need help with 2 1/4 - 8 thread. Minimun hole size question

Hi,
I would like to replace the threaded nose cap for my 10L SouthBend
lathe spindle.
It has a 2 1/4 - 8 threaded spindle. What size should I bore the
minimun hole for threading internally?

If somebody can reffer me a link where I can find the information
myself, that would be great too.

Thank you all in advance.

Rod
