Default Size of window motor bolts

Hello when i recieved my new window motors They cam with rivits and i cannot use them because they are special rivets and dont have the right gun for them. I looked everyware and no one sells a rivit gun for these weird rivits. So i know other motors come with bolts so my question is what size bolts are they so i can just go buy some at lowes ior home depot. thanks

The screws are very small and shallow, along with the nuts and external tooth lock washers.

Just take the window motor with you up to Home Depot and find something that fits and is about 3/4" - 1" long.


Peace,
Craig.

I could do that but dose anyone know the size bolts that come with their motors. And trust me their is no way an autoparts store has a rivit gun like this. These are some weird rivits. I already did the one side but just found small bolts laying around and it worked. I dont remeber even remotely how big they were.

I believe #6 and #8 machine screws will fit.
