Fuel Tank Strap Bolts

I know its a long shot, but does anyone have a picture or can you take a measurement of the two bolts that go throught the straps to hold the gas tank in. While my tank was out, my roommate did some cleaning and I have a pile of bolts now.

Thanks

Mark

WAG 8mm x whatever pitch and 3-4" long. too late now but a good pratice is to screw them back in the hole they came out of untill you need them.

If memory serves me at all, seems like those particular ones are somewhat unique.... they have some feature about the head to retain them and keep them from spinning as the nuts are removed. Either their heads looks like a "T", or there's a square shank on them, or something. They should be quite distinctive.
