Have you sorted this yet Paul? They are M8 thread x about 45mm long (from memory), dome heads. I changed mine for stainless ones when hood was replaced. Any good fixing stockist will have them in stainless (40mm should be ok). All the best, Pete

Do you mean the big bolt that acts as the hinge? It's got quite a shoulder on it hasn't it?
