Should be 12.9 M8 cap heads, std fitment is torx head but they are a paint.

You shouldnt need loctite, but can use it if you want to.

M8 x 50mm. you'll have to use allen head or torx type bolts, hex heads will foul the driveshaft. I got 12.9s which i think is pretty standard in allen heads.

I've got a spare set if you want, say £4 + postage.
