MG MGA - gearbox frame bolt size

Hello, again gentlemen.
Another delayed restoration question.
What is the size of the gearbox frame bolt?
I believe it is 5/16". I understand it should be head on left side.

I had stored parts and labeled them in plastic bags upon dis-assembly. Some mice must have carried some away. I have come across the "rough guide to the nuts and bolts....". Is there another guide somewhere which describes which size goes where?
I am making progress however, rebuilt front rear suspension installed. Rebuilt engine, gearbox are in.
So I am happy.
Thanks to all for their support.
Jonathan
