Clutch install Help!

Got the transmission out and was getting ready to put my new clutch in and realized I'm missing quite a few bolts.

I need a set of bolts that will connect my pressure plate to my flywheel.
the two bolts that mount the slave cylinder to the tranny.
the bolt that holds the release fork to the inside of the Bell housing.
The four bolts that hold clutch release bearing retainer into the bell housing.

Any idea where I could get these bolts on a sunday? Does anybody know the size of these bolts, all I could find was torque specs for them.

TIA!

A true value/ace/home depot/lowes is going to be your best friend in this case. This is going off the top of my head but here it goes.
slave cylinder to tranny are 8x1.25 30-35mm long
release fork bolt is a 6x1.0 bolt about 15-20mm long, just bring the fork with you so you can measure the length.
clutch release bearing retainer bolts should be a 6x1.0 thread pitch also. They're probably 15-20mm long also
Pressure plate to flywheel bolts are tricky as you're going to need a stronger bolt for this with a collar on the head. They sell "flange bolts" at most hardware stores. They should be 8x1.25 also, bring the pressure plate with you to verify length.

I'm 99% positive on the thread pitch and diameter. The length I may be off, that's why I'm telling you to bring the stuff to verify. You want the bolts to be able to go through the part and have enough thread sticking out to hold the torque.

Hope that helps.

It does allot, the only thing I'm worried about are the pressure plate bolts. Think we'll be safe with regular bolts as long as they fit.
