I used transmission bolts to fit into some holes, only thing with my pepboys 1 ton engine stand is that I had to kinda cut one of the legs that bolts into the motor to fit it. I believe they are 17mm bolts that fit into the block, so dig up some 17mm tranny bolts and see which works best. its great to have an engine stand.

I just matched the thread on the transmission bolts over at good old Home Depot, then got some really long Grade 8 bolts and washers to space things out. That way you don't have to trim anything, and you don't have to worry about using your transmission bolts on an engine stand.

well go to your nearest hardware store or auto store and see if you can get the spec for a honda transmission bolt and they will help you out. Calesta, do you know the thread size and pitch for the tranny bolt?
