Default Skid Bolt Size

Tried searching, not to thoroughly I admit. But I need to know quick:

What size bolt(s) would the engine, trans, t-case skids use?

Assuming I'm using the stock threaded holes in crossmembers...

Thanks guys!!

Strange; I couldnt find M7 bolts, so tried M8 - they fit perfectly.

In any case, what kind of washers should I use??

Huh. The holes that I used for my skid fit the M7. I will go pick up a pile of M8's for the rest of the skids that I am building. Sorry to lead you astray!
I am just running grade 8 washers and lockwashers on mine.
x2 on the Rockwashers from Steve.

Anyone know where I can get Rockwashers in Canada? Brokerage on US shipping is nuts right now...or alternatively do I really need them?

Just doing logging roads really....
