Screws for assembling 4th gen camaro seats

Here's what might amount to be a strange request that I'm hoping *someone* will be able to help out with:

The story:

I bought some 4th gen camaro seats on ebay (the standard black/gray dutone ones). The seller was great and shipped them right off to me, well packaged. UPS, of course, ripped the larger package up in transit, and the zip lock bags that contained the necessary hardware (bolts, etc) to re-assemble the seat backs (front) to the bases fell out of the package. I'm not counting on UPS being able to find these.

The request:

Can someone with these seats oblige in sending a manfiest of the bolts required to bolt the seat backs to the bases so I can replace these?

This would require the kind person to, on one seat only, pull each screw that holds the back to the base and measure the thread and length.

I know, this is a lot to ask, but unfortunately you can't walk into a dealer and ask for the "bolt set that holds the front seats together". =(

Yeah, we're pursuing a claim with UPS, but in the meantime, I'd like to see if I can get the correct bolts.

What's needed:

1 - The two large bolts (per seat) that are the hinge point for the recline, thread and length.

2 - The two (per seat) smaller screws that attach the recliner spring to the seat, thread and length.

3 - The two screws (per seat) that hold in the recliner spring cover, thread and length. I believe (might be wrong) that these may be self taping, or sheet metal screws.

4- One of the recliner spring covers also fell out of the package (I have the RH side, need LH side). There is a part number imprinted in the one I have, but I can't find it at GM. Hopefully it won't be too hard to come by. I figure I should be able to find a torn up set of seats from wich I can grab the missing cover. =(
