Default Tick master cylinder install

Well I just received my tick master.. pulled out the old one.. bench bled the new one.. now i just got the master in place.. (pita). Then was going to bolt in the new master.. and my kit came with no bolts!!

Now the question.. What size bolts are these and where would be the best place to get these.. I'm trying to have this done by the weekend... And tick is closed im assuming for the weekend! any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

I would assume you can just use the u bolt off the oem master!

I just received mine yesterday and it didn't come with any hardware or bolts. I'd like to know too before I try to install it.

For both of us? I'll double check the packaging later, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get any either. Not a big deal for me, but I guess it was inconvenient for you considering you were ready to install it.
