  I cheated a little.  ;-)  For sure those are the bolts for the front flange.
Since the end flange calls for the double ended bolt, take a look and
make sure the thickness is the same for both flanges.  I think it is.
You may need a tad longer bolt for the bottom one though, because
of the water pipe.

  Both are 8mm.  The water pump pulley bolts are about 10mm and the
crank bolts are 10 to 15mm.  I'll have to look later, no time now.

  These are a wavy type spring washer, might just be a flat washer.  It's
been a few months.  They are 8mm though.  I'll check when I check the
others.

  These are special.  I nab them when I get a chance.  They're 6mm by
about 10 to 15mm but have a built on flanged/washer head as well as
serrations to keep them from slipping loose.  I have a couple spares
as do most wrecking yards.  ;-)
