The dimensions are in the below link, when you fit them into the tank they are the right length, they feel a little loose in the hole but when you fit the badge it's a pretty good fit - handy if your pins are slightly bent as they give and tighten up.

There might be some that have a sligthly larger o/d but most sellers do not show sizes I have found these suitable - nothing to stop you adding  some PTFE tape if you wanted to make them tighter. With the alternator having three lugs they are spot on for that location. I suspect the Hondas tank holes were probably based on Imperial at 3/16" so there might be some with that main o/d out there - old BL or Ford sizes.
