ITs probably going to be a metric t hread,
Take several diffrent size bolts and see wich threads fit nicely finger tight
then measure how long you need, IE: how much metal you have to go through and the gasket.
Consider how deep the hole is it needs to go in
now you have a good estimation on your lengh
go abit longer
and use washers to shim it out.
This should work good for a temp job until the
correct bolts show up.

Go to home depot, assuming you have one, with one of the remaining bolts and match it up. They have plates that have different size bolts that you can screw yours in to then measure the length.

In case you haven't found it yet, its:
11589214
M8 x 1.25 x 40mm
You probably won't find a screw that looks exactly like the GM ones, but as long as they're the right spec they'll get the job done. I got my replacement screws at home depot.
