Default Thermostat bolt size

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what thread size the 2 thermostat bolts are. I want to buy 2 replacement bolts with ordinary hex heads and not those horrible torx things.
Thanks,
Cameron

Default RE: Thermostat bolt size

Ok,
So I found the answer myself, but I thought I'd post a reply in case anyone else has the same problem. The 2 bolts holding the thermostat housing are M7's. I replaced the original Torx bolts with ordinary Hex-headed bolts, which will hopefully be easier to remove if needed. M7's weren't as hard to get hold of as I had feared! There is plenty of room to get an ordinary socket over the new bolts.
