Default T56 dust cover bolts

I posted in the manual transmission section but no responses. On the LT1 style T56, does anybody know the size of the bolts that hold the dust cover (inspection cover)? Thanks in advance.

The thread is actually a screw type thread. Not sure on the size but wanted to point that out so you aren't looking for the wrong thing.

Auto ones are threaded bolts from what I remember. I haven't run the inspection cover on my '97 in years so I can't remember lol

They are a wood screw looking type thread. Like the ground bolt on the driver's side frame rail. May even be the same size.

The auto ones aren't even close. Unless you want to get them from a dealership I would do like wrd1972 said and tap them to a common thread size like 5/16.
