anyone know the thread pitch for R1 engine mounts?

Need to order some made to order bolts for the engine (08 R1) to mount it. Measured the various bits yesterday and just want to make sure I haven't messed up my readings...

The top of the engine where two bolts are used to mount to the cradle measure as M8's with a 1.25mm thread pitch. Can anyone confirm this?

And the mounting points on the drivers side seem to measure 11mm diameter. Double-checked this with the digital calipers and using M10 and M12 bolts. Is this right?

cheers both. The 07 is same as 08 model in many ways. I put a M10 in the rear and it felt loose.

If you are not bothered at keeping it original you can tap the threads out and use M12 standard as some have done, cheaper too.
