Crossmember Bolts help!

ok, when i bought my camry and did a thorough run through, i saw that the engine cross member's two rear bolts, washers & dampers were missing, so basically the rear of the crossmember rests on top of the suspension's cross member and causes some serious vibrations at idle and some play in the engine when accelerating from a stop. i went out to the dealer for 'em and they have none and haven't the slightest clue as to what diameter or size they are. can anyone say if i can simply remove one of the front bolts from the crossmember (at the lower radiator support area) and use that to match with another bolt at a local hardware or auto store?

here's a pic of the bolts i'm referring to:

The front-rear crossmember should also be bolted to the rear side-side crossmember...

Either way, you can look up the part numbers on www.toyodiy.com and just go to the dealer with the part numbers... then you know that you will be getting the right parts! (I've had the dealer order the wrong parts way to many times based on just a description)

i already tried that. i actually had sent 'em a list of parts with the part numbers and description, and they said they have none of the bolts in stock for my camry. so this is why i'm trying to figure or get some advice on what move to make next.
