Quick question about bolt sizes

I lost a couple bolts during my engine swap. I can't take them out of the car to try on sizes in a shop, I hate making numerous trips to the hardware store, and it's not any size I have to try on..soo

What size are the lower 2 bolts holding the WC T5 to the bellhousing?

What size are the 2 nuts holding the master cylinder on?

Thanks in advance.

lol..I have about 3 boxs of bolts....can't seem to find either of those in any of them tho

I'm pretty sure the T5 bolts aren't 3/8...I think it's metric but I duno what size. The Bellhousing to engine bolts are 3/8 tho.

why don't you go bother the people on the carb board and leave use alone here?
try 3/8-16 for the MC and 7/16 or 1/2 NC for the bell (i think) for the bell houseing.

I can almost guarantee the bolts on the bellhousing are metric, they are on the stang. Its a coarse thread, and probably 12mm.
Master cylinder, I dunno. Its probably 3/8".

I tried a 3/8-16 nut on the MC...it didn;t seem to wanna go, I thought maybe that was metric to. Maybe the threads are scarred or something.

Both the bolts and the nut are 10mm. I don't recall the exact pitch, but it's the "standard" mteric pitch, which should be about 1.5.
