I think they are m8's but don't quote me. I was thinking about replacing mine as oputting them back in destroys them. Mine are utterly fubarred. I got them back in though, after a lot of anger. I think it will be the last time though. I reckon citroen charge abomb for them, being so specific.

I was considering this. Did you just make up various shims to space it out and then use longer bolts?

I'll just pop down homebase and pick up a lathe and a milling machine then. (jokes)
No worries i'll go round my uncle's workshop and knock something up.
