Default Which screws for front engine mount isolator?

Hi guys!

What is the measure of front isolator screw (2 pieces) which hold front engine mount - isolator to the frame??? Are those 3/8 UNC thread??




I'm gonna experiment a bit with shimming my front engine mount isolator as well as to shave a bit of upper rubber parts, to see if I can get some improvements on engine vibrations. For that, I need to order longer isolator screws, but I'm a bit unfamiliar with imperial screws, so a bit of help could be useful

According to my 2003 Dyna P/N they are 3/8-16 x 1-1/8 inch, grade 8 bolts.

When the front mount sags it pushes the engine back against the rear mount, causing the rear mount to "sag" horizontally. Shimming the front mount is not the answer...
