Anyone know correct allen bolt size for inner driveshaft?

[hugepiece]

Been going through my list of niggly things to do on car, one of them is to replace a missing allen bolt from the inner driveshaft (diff end) as one is missing. Before I strip another one off and run around trying to find a replacement, does anyone know the correct size so i can get another one somewhere? Nows hoping it was lost or fell out and not stripped! will soon see I suppose.

I've just had a quick look under the back of mine and the're M8x60mm. Lets hope it has just come out and not stripped, it would be a nightmare to fix!

Hugepiece - I have been down this road when changing the CV boots. I ended up getting the bolts out using an 8mm allen key insert on a socket wrench and this did the trick. I had to make sure I got all the grime out the bolt head so it would seat well, but no real dramas. However, I did start off first with a T50 star head but this almost rounded one bolts - never again.
