Trans Torque Converter Cover Bolts

Hi guys. The inspection cover that goes over the torque converter/flex plate area was missing on my 85 Trans Am (305, 700R4) when I purchased it. I've sourced a replacement cover, but I need the bolts to hold it in place. Does anyone know what the specs for these bolts are? Length, diameter, thread?

Its a very coarse thread like a sheet metal screw.

Toss that cover out. It helps nothing, and the converter, therefore the ATF, will run cooler, which is a good thing. I haven't used one in 22 years of driving, it's never caused me any regret.
