Take the bolt to your local hardware store and match it up.

he lost them both, I was assuming he wanted real IAC bolts. using bolts that don't go where you're putting them is a big no-no

If he wanted real bolts, he would have gone to a Ford dealer and ordered them instead of asking here...
As long as the diameter, thread pitch, length, and material composition and finish are compatible, any replacement bolt will do the job.

that is true, but I was under the impression that the bolt he was using just "made do" for the time, as in didn't really fit but he forced it into the hole. by "real" bolts, I just meant identical to the ones that were lost, and he couldn't exactly match them up....eh, whatever.
