Hardtop Bolt Size?

Well the 5 buttons along the back of the cab on my soft top broke, so I'm putting my hardtop back on tomorrow until I get that fixed. When I took my hardtop about a year ago I strategically put all the bolts in a ziploc bag and stored them somewhere. Since then I have forgotten where that somewhere is. I turned the garage and 4runner upside down looking for them. No luck. So will someone tell me what size, length, and thread pitch they are so Lowe's can save me?

They are M8 bolts, 1.25 thtead pitch.
Sorry I don't know the length off hand but about 1.25" so say 30mm wouldwork fine.
You can't always get them at Lowe's, they typically don't have squat for metric bolts, and what they do have will be E-spec heads instead of J-spec (so the head ofM8 will be13mm instead of 12mm).

For future pitch, here aret he sizes of 95% of the bolts on thesetrucks
M6 (10mm head) 1.0 pitch
M8 (12mm head) 1.25 pitch
M10 (14mm head 1.25 pitch
M12 (17mm head) 1.5 pitch
M14 (19mm head) 1.5 pitch

There are a few M10s where the pitch is 1.5 but rare

oh and seatbelts and threaded holes in the rollbar are SAE 7/16 fine thread.

Thanks guys. But luckily my dad found the bag of bolts while I was at church this morning. So I saved $20 worth of bolts and washers.
