Fiat Brava shock absorber issue

Hi!
Spring is finally arriving to Finald and I have begun to repair my sweet sweet car Fiat Brava. Just a couple days ago I tried to replace the car's rear shock absorbers and as soon as I managed to remove the lower bolt I accidently droped the upper bolt into the car's chassis. This guide http://www.fiatboo.co.uk/photogal/guidepics/ChangingRearShocksOnFiatMareaWeekend.pdf , written by Bravo_Pro) suggests that it's impossible to get the upper bolt back from the chassis. The tricky part is, that I never saw what the bolt was like. All I now, that I removed it using a 15mm socket. Can anyone tell me the lenght and the diameter of the upperbolt?
 
if you take the other 1 out you will be able to take it to a shop and get another the same
 
Problem solved!

Hey!
I knew all along the option, that I could remove the upper bolt from the other shock absorber, but I was afraid that I might loose it too. Anyway, I guess I was lucky because I managed to remove the upper bolt from the other absorber and it didn't drop into the chassis. If anyone happends to loose both of them, the bolt's diameter is about 9mm and it is about 50mm long.

Thank you for your help!
