Tinks, I used ordinary zinc plated self-tappers but make sure they are blind ended or cut the points off - just to make sure they don't go too
far!
Cheers, Pewe

I tapped the holes M6 as they are a 5mm hole anyway. Fine if not done up too tight.

Length?
Tapped holes to 6mm and cut bolts to suit , if they are too long they will bottom out and probably break through.

There is a Merc A class airfilter mount which is a double ended M6 with an antivibration rubber bonded between. (basically an antivibration mout) this
is what I've used. Works a treat.
Studs are the right length and you get anti-vib mounts too 
Part number is on here somewhere.....
Edit:
4 x A116 988 05 11 @ £ 1.73 each + VAT.

I had nothing the right size, so I ordered a set of the official self-tappers from VW. They had a full set for me the next morning, total cost was
something like £1.80 ...
