accessory bolt size

Just wondering if anyone knows the thread size for the torx head bolts that hold the accessory brackets on. It's not a 3/8ths-16 although it's close to that. I'm presuming its a metric size. I can find all sorts of data on head bolts, valve cover bolts, motor mount bolts, etc. but nothing about accessory bracket bolts...

Re: accessory bolt size

I don't think they're metric. The threads they're screwing into are still plain old small block Chevy castings (block/heads) which were never tapped for metric-sized accessory bolts in any year to my knowlege.
