Default TCI and Stock Bolts

Went to put the TQ Converter bolts in tonight and the damn holes are bigger than the bolts.
Seen a few different sizes while searching so i'm asking.
What size are stock Converter bolts and what size are TCI converter bolts?

This is the first i've heard about them being different sizes. Always figured they'd be the same.
Any more input to make sure I get the right size?

Our Local napa keeps a bolt bin in the back.
So it's not the same threads that stock bolts are?

Converters already in, otherwise I wouldn't be askin.

Bump before bed.
Just don't want to F* UP. That's the only thing stopping me from driving it to work instead of my dad's POS sonoma that takes like 30 seconds to hit 60.

Fixing to buy the bolts. Really need to ease my mind.
Probably just going to buy 7/16's in the same length as stock in both standard and metric threads just to be sure.

Didn't find any help on TCI's website, they make no mention of it.
