With all due respect and in the interest of honesty and learning....If you want to know the size of something in a coffee can of bolts , you measure it. Get a pair of calipers and a thread gauge so you can measure. I'm not sure if you really need to know ahead of time. You can sort by eye and as said, they are all standard threads. Mostly coarse and a few fine threads. Google a chart. You can see what size you need by eyeballing the mating threads. Again, not sure why you need to know. You will soon learn by observation what a size 3/8 looks like, and so forth. You are hung up on minutiae and part numbers? As Mark indicates, there are only a few sizes with a few lengths. Clean, chase and sort by eyeballing/measuring the diameter and pitch and length and head style/markings and move forward. It's making several piles of hardware that all look the same. Then as you start needing a bolt, you pick one that will screw in and has the right "stick out" after going thru the parts you are assembling. That's when you can confirm you have made the right choice by seeing how many of those you need compared to how many are in that pile. Choose enough "stick out" for washers and a nut or to thread into a hole. If you know all this already, excuse and disregard. I don't know your level of experience with hardware yet.


calipers for thread diameter. I.E. 3/8 (the size)
Gauge for threads per inch. I.E. -16 (the pitch)

"Chase" means running a tap or die into/onto the threads to reshape and clean them. A tap and die set will have a thread gauge included.

I hesitate to answer your specific question for fear it may cause you to continue down the wrong path but.... if you find a spare parts catalog or list, you may find the part numbers from the FAM listed in the spare catalog and it may give the size, pitch and length of the bolt. Then you would measure every bolt in the can, label where they go and maybe that will take another 7 or 8 years. It is not necessary to measure every bolt in the can if you sort by eyeball and start assembly.

I don't want you to have to join a wed night focus group to do this.
