Default Bolt size ? (ignition switch relay housing bolt)

Hello, i am from Germany and have to buy the ignition switch screw that holds the clamp for the capacitator in that location. Can somebody tell me the US size of that small screw, i am missing a bolt and need to buy one of ebay, since you get SAE sizes in Germany at your local store. I am very unfamilliar with the US sizes as we only use metric sizes. I estimate it is arround 5mm in diameter. Here is a picture of the 2 bolts I apreciate any help!

They look to be either 3/8" or 7/16" either way you will doing yourself a big solid by purchasing SAE wrench and 3/8 drive socket set. There is some crossover from metric to SAE such as 11mm to 7/16 , 13mm to 1/2" but not enough to work on your car.
