Engine mount top bolt specs?

Anyone have the length / thread pitch for the engine mount top bolt? It's the one that attaches the engine "cradle" bracket to the engine mount.

Thanks.

FYI, NAPA carries heat treated 10.8 metric bolts. They typically keep them in fasteners bins in the back of the store behind the counter and not where the rest of the fasteners are in the store. Don't use hardware store bolts, they won't carry a 10.8 rated metric bolt typically. I used them on my mounts when I swapped the engine.

Understood. Made the mistake many moons ago of not using an automotive grade fastener as a replacement for a turbo-to-exhaust-manifold flange stud on one of my ice racers.

Thanks for the info. Found a perfect match @ NAPA for all of $1.15 after Arkansas' ridiculous 10% sales tax.
