Ps drop bracket bolts

I have a beefed up drop bracket for my ps ram. This backet has a "c" shape with a long bolt laterally through the frame rail clamping the backet to the frame rail. That bolt is intact. The two bolts that go vertically through the bracket into the nutcerts in the frame rail have both worked loose and are missing. (eek) Does anyone know the correct dimension of these bolts so that i can replace them? (diameter, thread pitch and length). Would standard grade 8 bokts work ok? And yes, i know i can measure, but it is dirty under there and i dont want to damage my manicure or get mt skirt dirty. And yes, i also know if i am going to keep the dreaded drop backet i should get it welded, but i am still considering a power rack. Thanks.

Usually if those bolts are gone it means the nutserts have pulled out of the frame with them. Not pretty. I don't know the size, probably 3/8 or 7/16 coarse thread and about 1" long, perhaps a bit longer. If your nutserts are still intact, you could just go to a hardware store and buy a few of each of some different size bolts and try them.

The answer, by the way is 7/16 nc x 1". The nutserts were intact. Blue loctite should keep the new grade 8 bolts in place. Thanks for the help, Frank.
