Anybody know what size bolts to use to attach the steering unit to the K frame??

Got my rebuilt steering box from FF and starting mounting it then discovered that sometime in the last 10 years I had misplaced the bolts.  Tried getting some grade 8 7/16-14 bolts but they are not right.

I have some,  SOMEWHERE in my stuff, they are a 12point head, special bolt, I will go digging in the garage later.

Ahh, now at least I have a hint on what they look like.   Thanks Charlie.

Still can't find any in my garage but I did what everybody does, I googled it!  US car tool has what Charlie described.
