Mk1 Escort ignition switch/barrel

Hi, does anybody know what size bolts clamp the ignition switch to the out steering column?
The ones that are tamper proof. I’ve drilled them out and now need new ones.
I suspect they are imperial and NOT metric.

5/16-18tpi as I'm pretty sure they'd be course thread rather than a fine thread 24tpi.

Or alternatively a pair of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-IGNI...MAAOSw9bRfiEh-
