Default Starter bolt size PLEASE!!

What size and thread are the starter bolts for a T5 bellhousing? I can't find it anywhere. I think the bolt size is 3/8" (not positive), but I can't find the thread count....I've tried 14 & 24...neither work, so I'm thinking maybe 16-18??? Please help!!

I did that all morning before I posted, thanks though. Everyone has the bolts to sell, but none of the site's have the size/threads, even ARP's site. I need them today[sm=smiley7.gif]

Tried that too. My last hope is a set I got a Lowe's today. I'll give it a shot after work, but if that doesn't work, I'm just going to order the ARP's from Summit.[]

Oh, also tried local Ford dealerships, no one in the area has a set. BTW, Dallas area ford dealers are lame. They never have anything I call for.....[:@]

Good info... I remember someone posting a thread asking for the starter bolt size a few weeks ago.
