am I missing a piece redux

I got the C5 battery partition from vettenuts today. There are three holes for bolts, screws, washers, nuts, or whatever to attach it to the car. Does anybody what the sizes, lengths, threads, etc, said hardware is/are?

Got the thing installed. Took out the battery to make it easier, so wouldn't ya know it, I stripped out the negative terminal bolt and had to get another one to replace it. Got that fixed too so that's enough for today before something else goes bad..

Sometimes things just happen - at least it wasn't something that was difficult to fix.
