Starter bolt

What size is the starter bolt. 1988 Rx7 Se
I bought the car from my friend and its missing a starter, I got a starter but no bolts.
I looked at this thread but I cant figure it out.
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...t=starter+bolt
I mean which one is the starter bolt.
Is it the one that needs a nut at the end?

Edit

So are these the bolts for the starter?
(1) 14 mm head - Length = 145mm (5 5/8 in) (with head of bolt)135 mm (5 1/4 in) (from bottom of head of bolt to end of bolt). Nut on opposite end. FINE THREAD
(1) 14 mm head - Length = 100 mm (3 15/16 in) (with head of bolt) 90 mm (3 1/2 in) (from bottom of head of bolt to end of bolt). FINE THREAD

I just looked at the tranny and it looks like it. The lenght looks to be right

I looked in the FS, but it didnt specify. I can measure ones that I have but I cant tell you what pitch/etc they are.

Is the bolts already out?
If so can you measure the lenght of the bolt
9/10 the threads are fine threads. I just need to know what the lenght are.

I do believe that the short starter bolt has coarser threads. Beware.
