Default gearbox bolts missing

Hi peeps, after doing some work on the car I have noticed that several of the bolts holding the gearbox housing to the box are missing, aaargh!

So now am on the look out for a set but don't know exactly what I need in terms of bolt spec.

What I can say is that there is one bolt below the dizzy that goes through a bracket that holds a hose and some cabling, however this bolt appears to be too long for this purpose and there is about an inch of thread sticking out making the bracket loose.

To the rear of this I noticed a further two bolts missing (think it was two anyway) and one missing to the front.

Can anyone help out or have a set I can purchase, would be very much appreciated?!

Alos need some kind of explanation what needs to go where. Will get some pics up at the weekend once am back home to explain what I'm on about better.

Hi mate the reason the bolt is longer is because its for the starter motor. there should be 2 or 3 long ones go through the starter motor in to the box and the rest are little stubby ones.
Should think you can get these from ford, dont have a part no though im afraid.
All the best.
