Im Dumb, what bolts for my bull bar?

[taslucas]

Yep Im dumb. I left my old bolts out at my parents house. Im going to buy some nice new shiny ones but what type? Is it M16 or something? im dumb about this stuff. I plan to buy the toughest ones i can afford.
I will go get them as soon as i get a serious answer out of one of you (which will be a while knowing you lot! Growlers, Scotty, Winnie, Clunk, Nisshead, Georgina need not reply!!)

Well Lucy if you had a GU i'd say 110% they would be M14x 1.5 zinc coated high tensile bolts with flat and spring washers, the length should be about 30 - 35mm.

They look like this

High tensile steel is 8.8 t the normal is 7 i think. Normally they're black steel but the zinc coated ones are silver so they don't rust as fast. Stainless would be better coz they're a bit stronger but will cause electrolysis (rust). But when you go to the bolt shop ask to try it in the chassis first to make sure you've got the right thread pitch!
