The original size was a 12-24, I don't know what the length would have been though.

I think they were originally sized as 3/16x24, which is exactly the same as 12-24.

The closest to a 3/16" would be a 10-24 (0.190"), while the 12-24 is 0.216"
Either way, if you are looking for the "right" bolts and screws I would reccomend Roy Nacewicz, just click on the link below.

1-1/4" length ... be careful, first set of repros i tried were only 1" ... made for a frustrating adventure that afternoon.

am still looking for a set of originals {features not seen when installed, but will support my OCD} ...

Mine had been re tapped to 1/4. I bought 12-24's thinking that is what it needed. You never know what someone has done before you sometimes.
