Emergency - Need help with bolt sizes

Ok, so I think somebody stole, yes STOLE, the bolts for my radiator.
I accidently left my hood open(not latched,just sitting down) last night. This morning I wake up and finish replacing my fuel pump, go driving around and notice the car is getting really hot while sitting idle at stop lights.

I get home and look, the fan isn't spinning and my radiator is sitting 2-3 inches back from where it should be and all the bolts are missing.

My question is what size and kind of bolts/nut do I need?

I checked the manuals but I don't think anybody expects you to lose these because it's not listed anywhere.

If you're fan isn't spinning... I don't think that's related to the radiator being loose. Because isn't it a Bi-Metallic Fan clutch that causes it to spin?

Or am I just reading your post wrong?

Anyways +1 for Kim M8 X 1,5

Sorry about the old title >.<, extremely irritated by it.

I got the bolts and put them back in.

The fan isn't spinning because the little things that hold the shroud on were also pulled out so the shroud was sitting on the fan, at least I'm hoping that's why it wasn't spinning, it was before I started driving it and the vibration made the thing fall down off the little metal hook things.

I forgot to grab the little things from the store so I need to do it in the morning and put them on and hope that everything is good.
