Asked on a Mitsubishi repair site...

Unfortunately, not even the parts guide nor the service manual tells of the bolt size. For something as specific and vital as your crank pulley bolts, I would highly recommend you visit your local Mitsubishi dealership and order new bolts from them. There's a good chance they have them in stock. Just head over to the parts department, and have your VIN ready. They will be able to get you the exact bolts you need, and it won't be much (if any) more expensive than running around to local hardware to try to find bolts that match. I'd also suggest you ask the guys at your parts department if they could let you know the torque specs on those bolts. That will help prevent this from happening again.
Good luck!

Drive your car to a hardware store and find a metric bolt that fits, can't be that hard.

Don't bother using your AC on the trip.
