Timing Cover Hardware Question

I need to know what the thread/pitch and length is for the Bottom Bolt that holds the timing belt cover on. (The outer plastic cover, not the inner cover). Mine is missing, it is all back together but the timing cover due to some normal warpage is seriously close to the alternator belt and I need to install this holddown bolt. I don't have a supply of various hardware pieces to go fiddling with it, so I hope someone knows offhand what it is. Thanks in advance!

the thread is the same as the other bolts holding the cover. to get a length, use a tape measure to measure the cover thickness at that point and add 1/4 to1/2" depending on what you are using for flat and lock washers.

Thanks, got it resolved. Seems the reason it was left off was that if snugged down it would contact the front face of the Aux shaft. Very odd, maybe it has something to do with the missing inner cover? But a 1/2" spacer from the Local Aubuchon Hardware did the trick and all is well.
