Starter Mountng Hardware

While replacing the cable from the solenoid to the starter, I noticed that (at least) one of the bolts that attach the starter to the bell housing is missing. (explains the grinding noise I heard when I tried to crank it)

What size / kind of bolts are these supposed to be? Are they through bolts or do they thread in to the bell housing?

They thread into the bell housing. 5/16"-18 X 1-1/4", 1-1/2" long will work too.
