Thermostat bolts

Just curious if anyone knows the specs on the bolts that hold the thermostat housing down (thread type, length, etc). I took both of mine out today to replace the gasket (leaking) and both bolts are pretty much just worthless. Im 20 miles from the nearest parts store and Im sick of driving back and forth to get parts. I have someone coming this way that could pick them up for me if he knows what to get.

Thanks

Nevermind, went and got them.
But now that I had to move the TB to get to the inner bolt, both TB hoses are leaking. Time to just do a TB bypass? (or whatever you call it).

Im not exactly sure on the specs. I took one into autozone and just had them match it up with what they had.

They dont have a lookup of the bolts, but happen to have the exact bolts I needed (same length, head size, etc). The reciept says #078560 202-0608 Grade 8 Hex, 98 cents each. Not sure if that helps any, but Ill call Autozone tomorrow and give them this number and maybe they can tell me.
