I'm not sure if such info exists. If you don't have an example to go by, there are some pretty common thread sizes and pitches on the car that most of the bolts fall under ... I think these are right but don't take it to Vegas because my memory is silly: (dowel X thread pitch) ... 6mm X 1.00 (10mm head), 8mm X 1.25 (12mm head), 10mm X 1.25 (14mm head).
Take a look at this and it might help you:

The first category is the stud/shaft/dowel size, spanner size category is the head size that you'd fit a wrench to with the first category being what you'd find commonly produced head sizes in the USA for metric bolts.
You can match threads using a tap/dye set and then measure depths (lengths) that you'd need (stick a nail in the hole if you have to), but that might be expensive if you don't already have a set of taps.
If you have an example, then any decent parts store will have a monkey who can figure out the thread pitch and dowel size with a tool.
I hope that helps.
