What's the threading on the screw holding the tank on?

So I've noticed that I don't have the screw that holds the gas tank to the bike. I've noticed this for awhile, but never done anything to fix it. Now that I'm going hardcore into making my bike AMAZING, I thought I might as well pick something up.

Anyone know what the threading is on that? I may just try to pick one up at a hardware store, or make one.

Plenty of compatible bolts on your vision; I think you could check with one of the bolts that holds one of the plastic trims on each side of the seat. Then take that bolt to the store and match it.

Or, then again, I could get off my butt and go and check.

There, done. M8 X 1.25

there is also a big rubber o-ring and large washer over it.  i'll bet someone has a spare set lying around...
