Default driveshaft safety loop bolt size

Does anybody know what size bolts and thread are needed to bolt the driveshaft safety loop to the body?

If you're referring to putting a driveshaft loop in place of the OEM tunnel brace,the OEM tunnel brace would have been attached with 8mm x 30mm(length) bolts.The thicker bracketry of a well constructed driveshaft loop would require longer bolts.I use 8mm x 40mm for mine to accomodate the SLP driveshaft loop and bolt-in subframe connectors.

8mm x 1.25 pitch(standard pitch for the 8mm).Anytime I can, I use stainless steel fasteners.My driveshaft loop and bolt-in subframe connectors are fastened with SS as I don't like to deal with corrosion when I remove/re-install those items to facilitate other mods.
