What size bolt do I need for the top left engine mount?

If you are asking about the bolt that hold the engine to the transmission that by the oil cooler, it is 10mmx1.5 thread pitch and 70mm long.

17mm socket if that helps.

Thanks, I got it.
How about the rear body mounts. I know there is a bushing involved. Where can I get them? Is there an alternative that I can use from one of my local stores. Is the bushing necessary? And does anyone have a picture of the bolt/ bushing?
Thanks

I checked the rear body bolts and they are 10 x 45 but the head size is 15 mm. I don't think you can get a socket or wench in if they had a standard 17 mm head. Next best would be to use allen head bolts. Could not find the spacer yet to measure.

Thanks Ron. Is the spacer necessary? Where exactly does it go. Does it slide over the bolt to take up the slack in the shock mount hole?
Thanks
