They are M5, pitch is 0.8 which is standard and most suppliers will assume that unless stated differently.

how big a hole? what material is the bonnet and what thickness?

small hole you can drill and then file out to size - for GRP and metal (steel/aluminium).

larger hole for say an air filter or two, I'd recommend this (aluminium or steel).

<--- linky

eek - nearly £ 60 - a lot I know but does a great job,. one of the few items from MM that I have bought, I guess it is because it is not one of thier clarke own brand items.

Chain drilled, joined up with hacksaw blade then Dremmeled. I made the initial hole smaller than needed and placed the bonnet on so as to see how much I needed to open it up, used masking tape to draw the final shape.
