Default Bellhousing cover plate bolt/screw size

Dose anyone know the what size of these bolt/screws that hold the cover plate on? I searched and cant find anything besides the bolts that hold it to the tranny. Thanks in advance

those are the ones that hold that midplate to the bellhousing right?

if they are the ones I am thinking about
they arent bolts, they look like sheetmetal screws

I knew that about the upper screws but the bottom one by the exhaust should definitely a bolt and a nut as there is no threading. Anyone know the size perhaps?

Unfastened sheetmetal makes noises. It's not a problem if you crank the tunes. The only other things I can think of is if the the other fastener(s?) vibrate loose then you could lose the cover and/or that it may allow debris to intrude into the bellhousing...

I found a bolt and nut I had for the bottom which is 1/2" x 13 x 1 1/2" and fits like a glove. Now just for the screws.
