Default Head Bolts

The round headed looked original, the three flat heads were shiny indicating not original. Hopefully, CD or SteveH or someone will get back with size for you. If not, I'll eventually get them figured out and post it. It appears to be a 1/4 inch 3/4 inch long bolt with a standard medium thread.

Thank you for the information. I did try to have a quick look in 2 of the holes but soon found out they
were filled with debris, so mouch so I could not even see any threading. Hence my questions here. I am going to have to do some careful clean out and liberally use the air compressor.
