Default Help with strut tower bar

I am getting ready to install a Cusco strut tower bar that didn't come with any hardware. The last owner stripped out the holes and I will need to fix that issue first. My question is...what size are the bolts to hold the brace in? I have searched and have found 3 different sizes mentioned. I can order them from Z1, but I want something polished. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Take the strut tower bar to a hardware store [Home Depot, Ace, etc.] in order to figure out the thread, and test lengths. Once you find something that will work, write down the specs and put in your order from Z1

If threads are stripped on the bolts that connect the bar to the feet, you can always get a new bolt that is long enough to pass through and put a nut on the other side if the thread goes all the way through.

The stripped threads are in the chassis of the car ...

I had some stripped threads as well. I took some extra header studs I had and threaded them into the chassis of the car...I'll get a picture
