I've owned two street fighters. One used stock metric bolts and one used 7/16 fine thread. When you get the converter you're just going to have to thread a few bolts in there until you find the right ones.

Stock verter bolt size is 10mm - some aftermarket verters use the stock size - some use the 7/16 size as previously stated. Another factor will be the bolt length - if you are using an aftermarket flexplate such as the TCI with bosses surrounding the verter bolts - you will need slightly longer bolts for proper thread engagement (standard rule of thumb is 1.5x the bolt diameter if possible).
