I think it will be more like 5/16 (.3125) dia. the length wouldn't matter you can just cut the length after installing but 1 1/2 length will work.

Just use the largest diameter that will fit in the hole, and a length that will allow enough to stick out the other end that you can securely bend over.

Some things SHOULD NOT get bent over after they are inserted.
