Mike,

The two long bolts you need are slightly different in length.  I will look
and see if I can get you the exact measurements.

Failing that, just take the master cylinder to your local hardware store and
get two machine bolts where the thread protrudes past the housing and will
thread into the captive threads on the frame (from about 1/2  to 3/4 of an
inch)

Grade 5 will work fine (that's essentially equivalent to  the Grade "R:
bolts that were used originally), or Grade 8, but don't use Grade 2.

Cheers,

Curt
