Hello again,

Does anyone know the precise bolt sizes for the 4 rear wheel mounting bolts? I want to replace mine with stainless. Many thanks

I wouldn't ... really. It's definitely one application that is best left to the OEM stuff.

You can buy caps for the bolt heads to cover up any scabby ones

Absolutely - these are high-tensile bolts........ Stainless have a low yield in comparison, and quite likely suffer from thread "pick-up".
