   Just taken off the passenger rear wheel to find that there are no bolts holding the end plate on! Can any one tell me what bolts go into these two holes

   M8 bolt not sure on thread pitch either 1.25 or 1.5 about 3cm long will be fine.
   
   P.s axle looks like it's seen better days checked it for play? There's usually a reason why the bolts come loose
