Burton lists 18mm for the alloy sump, I'd guess you'd want 14mm for a steel sump.

*This is a guess, half remembering the differences in thickness I noted the better part of a decade ago.

Some bolts holes are open end others closed so length is different
Some bolts also go into front ally covers
I found 3 different lengths were needed
