Default TB Bolt Size/Dimensions

Somehow snapped the head off of one of my throttle body bolts yesterday morning while tightening. I'm pretty sure it's just the head of it so I should be able to spin it out by hand or with a pair of pliers if I take the manifold off. Just wondering if anyone knows the size specs for these bolts. Or if anyone knows where in the shop manual I can find them since I've looked over a lot of it and come up with empty pockets. Spent about an hour on Google early this morning and came up with nothing conclusive. I'm heading to the salvage yard today or tomorrow to see if I can find a car to pull them off of but just in case, I want to get the measurements. Thanks in advance.

Top bolt in mine is M6 x 1.0 x 35mm long with a flanged hex head.



Couldn't check the bottom 2 unfortunately as it's now 11pm, pitch black outside and raining pretty heavy, here in the north of England, UK.

I reckon the other 2 are probably identical, if anyone would like to confirm that?

They're all the same size. Thanks man. I don't have a tap and die set so I didn't want to just guess.
