Default Upper Steering Column support

I am trying to identify, with no luck, the specs for the bolts that attach the upper column support bracket to the car. In one of the Jim Shea diagrams the bolt is labeled as "B", I have copied the diagram below. I believe there are 4 bolts and they are all the same - thank you - Bob Messina

. I believe there are 4 bolts needed and I believe they are all the same. Any help you can lend would be appreciated. I have also attatched a picture.
