   Hello
   
   Two of my cam cover bolts have rounded so I am
   Going to replace all 16.
   
   I know they are 20mm m6
   
   Would either of the ones below be ok or do I have to have the official ones from Peugeot?

   Never had a problem with swampy personally, not with either bolts or brake lines.

    Cheers for all the replies
    
    Went for the black halfords ones in the end, seem to be fine.
    
    Lined them up against the ones I removed from the engine and they look identical
    
    £7 for 20 odd
    Cheaper than Peugeot wanted

    Selling the car so not the end of the world for me
    
    I will tell the new owner that I resealed the covers and it may be worth changing the bolts at some point
    
    Cheers for letting me know
