Thanks in advance

M6 x piddly, 10mm would do it. The stock bolts have a shoulder I think so you'll want either a wee washer or a spacer of some sort- I just use a washer.

ha,ha... got mine from probolt i think, you'll have to buy them individually and specify the size though as they ain't part of a kit Steve.

I got mine off Ebay- you can pick up small lots for low prices sometimes, people sell off leftovers. Full price is just silly, and not a lot of benefit, but mine has a wee sprinkling of titanium bolts now all bought on the cheap (oh, and a titanium front axle that I'm not even going to attempt to justify!)
