The length of bolt you need depends on the length of your BB removal tool AND the length of your spindle.
Since I work on bikes, I have a couple different length bolts and a stack of washers.
I got the 8mm bolts at car Quest.
They are NOT the common 8mm thread size.
Take a bolt with you and check it with a nut when you are there.
