What size?

I'm replacing my slave cylinder and to my surprise I didn't have a bolt for my bracket.
I couldn't find anything online and since I'm at work I am unable to hunt for one right now so I thought I'd ask you all to help speed up the process.
What size is the bolt for the bracket?

Most I've seen the bolt is already missing. It isn't necessary because the slave slips over it and the pressure keeps it from going anywhere.

If you can't find a bolt I wouldn't sweat it

I've never seen one that still has a bolt. Don't worry about it.

With the ZF5 speed, certain years they never had a bolt to retain the clip. My clip worked its way off a time or two and left the slave cylinder hanging while going down the road. That was enough of that crap so I drilled and tapped a hole in the bell housing and through the clip so mine's held on with a little 1/4" bolt.
