E12 bolt size help needed

Replacing the motor and of course lost the two E12 bolts on the back of the motor, can someone give me the size of the bolt so I can replace them?

Thanks!

Check the Tech section of my site, I've been trying to collect that information when it comes around...

The parts catalog for the 88 thru 96 XJ call for the bolts (dimension wise) in the image below. The parts catalogs for the 97 thru 01 do not specify the bolt sizes and say "Not Serviced", so it leaves you (us) high and dry. The 97-01 catalogs also mention that they are M10 bolts. I haven't had the ability to prove if they are metric on these years or if they carried forward the SAE sizes from the previous years.

The Hillman bolts in the image are available at S&W Pro Hardware franchise hardware stores, or other hardwares that carry Hillman fasteners. They seem to be quality bolts.
