As I said earlier the bolt at the center pylon hinge is shown to be a AN4-11A and I suspected the outer bolts would also be the same and you have proven that out.

I also said that the two top rudder bolts in the A model IPC (same as the 170 and B model in this area) are shown to be AN4-11A. Yours measured -12 which would probably work with washers.

So we have identified all the bolts you asked but one and that in the bottom rudder bolt that goes through the rubber horn control hinge. I know this one is longer than the top two.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
