Hood Hinge Bolts

Does anyone know the size of the bolts used to mount the hood to the side hinges on the '50 F-1?

As I recall they are 1/4", but I think they have a shoulder that the hinge pivots on. The head is also drilled for lockwire.

The mounting shaft to fastner the spring hinges to have a pin where it looks like a cotter key is inserted. The four points I am asking about are where the side hinges connect the hood, 2 bolts per side. It is a fine thread but am not sure the size or length that is correct.

As well as I remember they are 5/16 fine thread. I am sure I used a 1/2 inch socket and used stainless nuts.
