Default Part # Help - AC line fan housing bolt lost

So I lost the bolt holding the ac lines to the fan housing on my 96' when refinishing the fan housing and fan (see photos). I thought I found the right bolt and washer in the PET and ordered it but when it arrived it was not the right part at all. Can anyone assist me in locating the right part number for this bolt and washer or know what the correct size and pitch so I can source one locally? Thank you!

If there are like bolts on clamps for the AC lines on the cooling shroud
and the hex head size is 10 mm, then likely you need a 6mm size thread. If there is a like bolt holding down the lines, remove it and put it in the place of the missing bolt being careful not to thread it in too far it could go through the shroud, thread it in to check if its the proper size and thread. If so, measure the length of the thread shaft under the head. If its something, like say 40mm long under the head, then you need a 6mm x 40 mm

Thank you for the comments! I ordered bolts from the 993PET page titled refrigerant circuit rear and it was not right, too large in diameter and too short in length. I'll take a look around the engine compartment and see if there some thing similar and try that out.

Usually they would use a 6mm for something like that

All guessing asside; the fastener is a, 5 mm x .8 x 35. The hex head is 8 mm.
THESE ARE AS MEASURED DIMENSIONS, by an ex-machinist.

This was spot on! Went to my local hardware store and hit up the metric stainless steel bolt section 5mmx.8x35mm was it! Thank you!
