Can't see why stainless bolts should be a problem?

They may not be as high tensile as the originals but, at the size they are I reckon they're well over any strength requirement and I can't imagine the temperature causing any issues?

I've certainly used them without any bother.

That was kinda my thinking too but I never want to appear arrogant so thought I'd check out what the reasoning was behind the caution

I'm wondering if I confused you with my SS abbreviation for stainless steel...

To add, these should be good; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112686651...3ABFBM2pK5v8Bi

M8 x 20 but ignore that it says for 748/916 etc. as they only use 4 bolts and are shorter as the hub/carrier (not the wheel) they fit into is not very thick.

I recently bought a set myself. 12 for the front and 6 for the back.
He does do a rear set and a front set as it happens. All the same size on mine, M8 x 20.
I like that they are the same pattern head as originals but sparklier. Flanged cap heads.

I was so impressed with what a nice company it is to deal with that we got into a conversation and they agreed to put an ad on our forum banner.

Many thanks - I'll check them out
