m6x1.00 and 10mm long. I think. Just buy the two bolts. If they dont fit oh well, it cost you 20 cents

I believe the correct bolt size is 5mm X 1.00 12mm long. The bolt head is a little smaller than the stock one, but the actual bolt fit perfect.... I was tightening one of mine after reconnecting the TPS and it snapped! So i went to Home Depot to pick up replacement bolts. I replaced the one that was still intact......Now i have to figure out a way to get the bottom end of the broken one out....None of it sticks out of the hole....Ill have to drill it out i guess
