   Got tomorrow off to swap my gearbox over but need to get three new bolts that hold the mount to the box
   
   Has anyone got a gearbox in front of them that they can tell me the size of the bolts? Need to get them before I leave work at half 4
   
   Cheers guys

   After a quick search on google if found they should be m8 studs anybody know the length?
   
   Is there any reason I can't use bolts instead?
