No...dont know the size but you could take a good one down to a bolt supply house and get all new grade 8 bolts.

They should be about 7/16's shank but like said above take what is left to a hardware store. It will be coarse thread and grade 5 is fine with grade 8 kinda over kill. Do not use general duty grade 3 bolts.

Drill bolt with a Cobalt bit (you can get them at Lowes) and then use a easy out. Do not mess around with a regular drill bit doing this. Cobalt cuts even hard steel and it harder to break by accident too.
