The front bolts are M8 x 25 cap heads, and the rears are M8 x 20 cap heads.

Mine where a mixed bag ranging from M8 Domed Head Cap screws (I think original) and some Stainless Steel M8 Cap Head Screws I can't remember the lengths off hand though. but the domed heads use a smaller hex so easier to get an allen key in, but they are so much easier to round off as well. so from a personal view I would go with M8 cap head. you don't really need stainless as bi-metalic corrosion is more of an issue than water.

I have some here I will grab 4 off each on the way home, I just need to get them to you.
