I like to change the rusty steel bolts to stainless steel alen cap heads 
If you do the same use washers and copper slip .
I've put together the sizes to dress up your engine covers and hope its of use .

Do you see the error. I just spent £20 on M5 bolts to find they are all M6

I see the thread has been updated to M6 & I am not sure where I dragged the M5 version from but if it is floating about somewhere it needs to be found & ripped out

[lloydie]

I can't see the m5 .
It was updated a few days after the mistake was made .
So not sure where you got the old list from .
Sorry

can you not send them back and exchange them ?

[mattycoops43]

Ooo I really want to do this. Where is the proper list?

Is there a good place to buy the correct lengths or do you just buy a bulk buy of long ones and cut them to length?

[lloydie]

It's in the workshop knowledge base sticky section .

[darkember]

Good news the company are prepared to exchange them

[fire_on]

Out of interest what company did you use to source the bolts?

They at least deserve a mention for accepting an exchange
