Default oil pan bolts

Hi I'm new to the forum. I have a question if someone can guide me in the right direction it would be appreciated. I'm looking for an oil pan bolt kit for the 4.0. I've tried to search online and seem to only find drain plugs.

Don't think I have ever seen one. There are 3 different bolts on a 4.0 oil pan. Always wondered about that. Anyway here are some part #'s and descriptions out of a '98 parts catalog. Maybe you can by them at a Dealership. Thinking 2 out of the 3 might be a hardware store thing. Click on the screen shot. It will become bigger and readable.

For the studded bolts, you'll have to got to the dealer or junkyard. I suggest and industrial fastener supplier for the rest. You can get grade 8 washerhead bolts by the pound.

I am missing quite a few. The only leak is in the rear of the pan and the majority of the missing bolts are up front.
