What size are the thermostat housing bolts?

On my 351W? It's all back together and running, but I have no bolts for the thermostat housing and I need to pick up some replacements. I have no idea what size they are. Anybody?

In case you were wondering, I took the thermostat housing off in the parking lot at the maching shop in a borrowed car, and I ended up with only the housing and thermostat... Wonderful.

Good guess! Thanks; you saved me a lot of time. 5/16"x18 1" long. I'll put that in my little book. I need a little book now.
