Starter Bolts - Size for replacements?

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

They probably used SAE hex driver into a metric Hex hole.
And they are NOT dealer only... I replaced mine with standard 10.5 Bolt (I
hate Hex bolts and always replace them if I cannot find a reason not to),
ACE hardware has the right thread/pitch/length for like 1.25$/ea
