Anyone help me with the length and thread size of the top alternator bolt?

Replacing my alternator as not getting charge voltage at the battery. However in removing the old one noticed that I was missing the top alternator bolt. (The ALT is still faulty, missing bolt was not the issue). I temporarliy fit "she'll do" bolt from my loose bolt tin just for testing but need to get the proper one in. .

Try an M8 x 35mm

Thread pitch would probably be standard i.e. 1.25mm but there's a couple of bolts where fine pitches have been used.
(turbine housing studs - they are m10 fine)

Mitsubishi Almost universally uses 1.25 pitch.
Apart from the wheel studs which are 1.5 pitch

Not many auto manufacturers use standard thread pitches for fasteners M10 and above for some reason.
