the reason I want new is because the bolts I took out are 22 years old and I don't trust them, I don't fancy re-sizing the threads in the block either, I've already got the crank in and prepped the bores. I might spec some 12.9 high tensile bolts myself, can't cost more than £15 like that I recon

probably 10.9, I'll dig the old bolts out and have a look. As they're non stretch they'll only be high tensile anyway, then just need to worry about washers

Sorry meant 10.9, going mad. I'd hope they're not 8.8 anyway
