Crank Trigger Wheel Bolts

Searched, but didn't find anything relevant to the bolts.

In the process of swapping over the crank sensor trigger wheel to my BHJ, it seems I've lost/misplaced/etc one of the little E5 bolts on the back. Would I be better off finding a member to send me a spare, or could I locally source 4 similar bolts of the same size/thread and just replace all 4 of them (just to keep them matching).
 
Figured I'd post this for any one looking in the future...

I went to Lowe's last night and scoured the hardware aisle for a good half hour. The bolts are M5x.8...roughly 14mm length. Problem is, in all their selection, Lowe's only has 12mm and 16mm lengths. I bought a few packs of each to experiment (they were only 80 cents each). The 16's felt a little too long, so I ended up going with the 12mm with a small dab of blue Loctite on the end. Figuring it should be just fine that way.
 
It will be good. I installed my bolts then removed them looking for marks that they bottomed out. I found one, so i cut about an eight inch off. They are fine.As you I also loctited them.
