Default What pitch are propshaft retaining bolt threads?

Anyone know what size the thread pitch is on the m8 bolts that hold the propshaft bracket to the floor on a 3dr? I've got a box full of nuts bolts and clips that came off of the car but I don't know which bolts if any of them are for the propshaft bracket and I've found various m8 ones with different threads.
The bolt holes in the floor need a tap running through them to clear them out before I can put a bolt in them but I don't want to bugger the holes up by running the wrong tap through. If nobody knows then I'm just going to use an m8x1.25 and hope for the best!

Oil the various bolts and try them, but pretty sure they are 8 x 1.25mm, only took mine out last week.
