Replacing motor mount/swingarm pivot bolts on GY-5

I've got a new GY-5 coming in a crate next week. I figured that the easiest time to replace motor mounts is when the bike is still unassembled.

So!

What size bolts do I want (metric? SAE ones are obviously not meant for the metric chinese frame, but if that's the only numbers you have, that'd be cool too). I'd like to replace the swingarm pivot bolt as well, as I see on here that some guys have problems with it - but I don't know what size bolt to get. I'd like to buy the parts ahead of time and be able to get right to work when the bike gets here, 'cuz now that hockey is over, its time to ride. Or will be soon!
