J: The bolts are easy to come by at a True Value or Ace Hardware. I prefer the button head hex bolts they look a lot nicer than a standard bolt. Here's a copy of a post I did awhile back about bolting to the mounting plate - It has the dimensions of the bolt you need:
"The bolt you are looking for is a stainless metric M10 bolt with a 1.50 pitch, That will save you some running around - by knowing that info you can call ahead. Usually Tru value and Ace Hardware stores have the bolts you'll need available singly. I think the last time I did this, I used a 35 or 40 mm bolt. With that length in mind, here's how I assemble it: I thread a lock washer (split washer) and then a fender washer onto the bolt. Then, I place the kickstand up against the bottom of the mounting plate, insert the bolt through the plate and screw it into the kickstand. It is easier and faster to do this without a fender and tire mounted. The bolt will screw through the kickstand and extend a bit underneath the bike. Snug it up firmly. Lastly, as a "belt and suspenders" measure, I place a washer (regular, NOT fender) onto the exposed threads and I then screw a stainless nylock nut onto the bolt while keeping the bolt from turning. If that's too obsessive for ya, get a 25 or 30 mm bolt and just use the upper fender washer and split/ lock washer. Instead of grease, use blue locktite to coat the threads before assembling. It does a better job at keeping the bolt from loosening."
