FB flip up headlight issue

Hey guys!
I'm in the process of restoring/building an 83 Rx-7. I'm running into an issue with the flip us. I have the cover, all the hardware/frameware. But! I don't have the screws, bolts, or whatever the headlights pivot on. The brackets that are on the core/radiator support area, where the headlights attach to.

My question being, are they specific type harware pecies? Or can I get away with a bolt, nut, and lockwasher?

Thanks!

Tho I am a bit vague on your description. If you have the _complete_ light/frame assembly then this ALL attaches to the chassis AFAIK. So if you are just bolting this to the car, then any correct-pitched metric hardware should be fine.
I have posted an image from the parts book. If I haven't answered your question, maybe this will help refine what you are asking?
