Need Bolt Specs for Transmission Case Inspection Cover

I'm missing the entire highlighted assembly (plate, gasket, bolts.) I'm trying to chase down all the replacement parts but would like to know the bolt specs so I can source quickly and fabricate a temporary cover. The TM page I found just says, "...Special ..."

I'd appreciate it if anyone can give the length/diameter/thread and anything else important.

Thanks.

Transfer case or transmission? The pic is the transmission.

This is why I am not on SS much anymore.

If you look in the older manuals it will give the size etc. The "special" is 5/16 diameter, coarse thread, grade 8, 9/16 long. A 1/2" long bolt will work just as good.

Going swimming with the truck? If not, dont worry about it.

"Trans" = Transmission. Sorry for the sloppy abbrev. I didn't catch it. I was relying on the illustration.

Thanks for the measurement and the TM reference.

Not swimming as at a rally or that you'd YouTube, but the road to one of the places I work floods quite easily. Irene might have her way with it by Monday a.m. If so, the E-350 gets a day off and it'll be one of those times that this truck is expected to earn its keep. Besides, I don't like the idea of getting caught on the road in the rain with that hole open. All the clutch parts are less than 1K miles old.

I want the hole covered. I'll move the plug 1st, too.
