many thanks to all who replied to me about this.
it actually turned out that a did measure correctly and the stock
bolts are indeed 7/16". the 'pro comp' bolts from summit which are
sold as 7/16 are not that size at all and are larger. when the 7/16
bolts i ordered from 'general spring of kansas' arrived they turned
out to be the perfect size. they were cheap at $5 each too.
