Hood hinge bolts

So I just changed the engine and its running great. The problem is I can't find the bag with the hood and grill hardware. Does anyone known the size and thread count of the hood hinge bolts.

My '85 was 1/4UNF.

The '86 was 6mm fine.

The '88 had 2 of each, so a hingechange in a previous life me thinks.

My '89 is 13mm AF on the head, that should make it an 8mm. Imperial would have been 5/16"
Not sure 1/4" would have been up to the job.

OOPS.

I buggered that up badly.

Thinking of the wrong bolts.

8mm or 5/16 is correct.
