question on bolt size

I found a source of banging noise on the front end....the 2 mounting bolts that secure the vapour canister to the radiator support bracket are not installed so
any bumps and this canister just bangs around. There are 2 nuts welded onto the bracket that are used to secure it.

Anyone know what size bolts these nuts take?

I guess could cut the captured nut off, use standard nut and bolt from any hardware store.

5/16" X 18 - 3/4" long did the trick. the lower one is impossible to get at without taking the radiator out...top one holds it secure now.
