Rear dust guard bolt size

[MarkG - E85]

Hi all, so my rear dust guard has corroded enough that it won't hold my handbrake fittings. I've stripped it all off to the point where I need to remove the 4 holding bolts, 2 of them are 10mm but the other 2, next the to the handbrake actuator are a little bit rusty to say the least. Does anyone know what size they are? I think they're a 16mm socket size but I don't want to clean them up with a wire brush and bang the wrong size socket on.

Cheers

Realoem.com says they are M6 and M8, and M8 are usually 13mm

Nice one, cheers Patriot. I've never heard of that site, I'll give it a look.

EDIT: Just shows how much rust is on the head of the bolts as the 16mm socket was the closest to fitting

Always best to put the last seven letters and digits of your Vin number in so it searches for your particular car, doing this will ensure you get the correct details of the parts fitted to your car when it left the factory. When it comes to bolt sizes you will find the sizes listed in the parts numbers listings of the particular componant diagram you are viewing.
