Thread size for Byerly Lock bolts

I have a Hyperlite Karma with the holes for the Byerly lock. Water sprays up through them while riding. Its not too big a deal, but I would like to just put some bolts in there to plug the holes. Does anyone know the thread size of the bolts used?
If all else fails, I'll just take my skate to the hardware store and find something that works.
Cheers,

Thanks guys. I think I'll probably try to find a bolt that will fit in there nicely, and if I can't then I'll use wax for it.

Alright, just in case anyone cares:
The threads are 1/4"-20. I used 4 rounded allen head bolts that were 5/8" long (1/2" would work well to but leave a little space on bottom). This fills the holes and is pretty even on the bottom of the board. I got the allens because they were the lowest profile head I could find.
