replacing bolts...part numbers?

A while back I rounded out some bolts while removing stuff to change the timing belt. I had to return my rented tools so I couldn't finish the job at the time, so I left the damaged bolts in there.

The ones I damaged are the 6mm bolts that hold the fan bracket in place. I need replacement bolts before I start the job again. Are there specific part numbers for individual bolts like these or do I just go by the dimensions? Anyone have either the part numbers or whatever info I need to get replacements?

Thanks!

Yep that's the one...there are 2 hidden bolts behind the pulley and there are 2 more 6mm bolts underneath the pulley (but hot hidden behind it). I stripped out the head of one of these 6mm bolts completely (I think) and the other one I damaged but was able to remove. Unfortunately I had no choice but to put it back in as I couldn't finish the job at the time.

I'll be doing it properly soon but I want to make sure I have replacements first. Ideally I'd like to have a lot of replacement fasteners just in case but even the part numbers for these 2 6mm guys would be a great help.

Hmm...strange, because I was sure that there were in total 3 of the 6mm and one 5mm. 2 of the 6mm bolts are under the pulley, and then there's a 6 and a 5 behind it.

Anyway the 6mm ones are the ones I damaged so it looks like N-102-898-01 is what I need. Thanks!
