Default Upper arm(front one) mounting bolt thread size

Im about to put my new motor in.When i did the uninstall i saw that the threaded parts in the frame where the upper arm bolts needed some cleaning with a tap.I cant seem to find the correct thread size for those bolts...

So does anyone knows what is the tread size of the 4 bolts that hold the upper arm(front one) ???

I've had my bolts out, plenty of times.
If I had one out at this time I would probaly be able to tell you but....

If I were you, I'd take the bolt down to a good auto parts store, such as Nappa, etc & have them find/fit a nut on the bolt & then you would know the tap/chaser size. (Aren't all four bolts the same size?)
Just trying to help.
Good luck.
