Fuel pump bolts

I have a 1974 Mercury 115 horse two stroke outboard . I have recently took to the power head off to replace some gaskets. Upon putting the fuel pump back on I realized that I had misplaced the three bolts the secure the pump housing. I have been trying to use machine bolts (#10-24 flathead 2" slotted brass) but I can only get the bolts down so far until each bolt starts to bind up. I ordered some bolts from this website but the ones they show are "out of stock". I am not sure if that means I will not get them very soon. If you have any advice, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your help. I did find 10-24 by 1.5" that worked. True confession, my neighbor found a can that all my old boat bolts were in. So I took out the new bolts and put the originals in. Two things I have learned. 1. Take the time to label where I put stuff. 2. Be grateful for good neighbors who are willing to rummage with me through my messy garage and solve a problem created by my own foolishness.
