Default 1973 heater hose bracket bolt

A real specific request. The 1973 has a metal bracket attached to the plate under the AC clutch/pulley to hold the 2 heater hoses. I just got one to install on my 73 but need to know what size and length bolt is used on the bracket end closest to the engine. The AIM does not give a size.
Thanks.
Fran

Both cars have a 1/4 bolt ? think it original.

Closing the loop.
Took the part number from the AIM diagram and found the info on the site:
https://www.wbparts.com

Good source for future projects and use of the AIM.
