Default Skid plate mounting

So, I found my jeeps skid plate in the garage yesterday after looking for two hours but wasn't able to find the mounting hardware.

Does anyone know what size the bolts are?

I would mock up and then measure the holes and get something that fits.

He said his bolts are Mia. It takes 4 bolts the same size as the sway bar bolts. Then 3 nuts on the studs up front.

Good thing I didn't force these other bolts in. I picked up a handful of tester hardware, all US.
I'll swap them out tomorrow.
Thanks again everyone
