Delco alternator mounting bolt?

anyone know what size the big mounting bolt is for a Delco 12SI
alternator? I'm about to leave in an hour or so for the cool hardware
store to get a whole mess of stainless bolts for my Stude engine
compartment, just realized I don't know what I need for my alternator.

thanks!

My bet is metric.

You lose

but I mistyped, it's actually a 10SI, so I guess you get partial credit
('cause by then it probably was.) The big mounting bolt is 3/8" coarse,
3" long. Now you know The smaller bolt is a 5/16" coarse, about 1"
long, although I think I will replace it with a longer one so I can put
a nut on the end like the factory Stude setup.

(who will have to wait until next weekend to replace that bolt - you'd
think that would have been on the web somewhere)
