Size I dunno, but hardness should be grade 8.

there is no metric grade 8, that's an SAE grading. I suspect you meant 8.8 which is DIN (metric)

Default Bolts? You mean studs..

Mine were studs like what you find in wheel studs of the american/japaniess flavor.. I did snap one or two though and rather than buy them (as I was in a hurry) I used some 8.8 M10s with some decent washers and lock nuts. Length is around 30-40mm

wicked man, M10 sounds about right. I will measure length to be sure. Thank you everyone.
