Swapping over sumps this weekend and was going to replace with stainless bolts.
I know they are m6 but what length ,my garage is remote to my house so cant check..easier to ask on here.

Burton lists 18mm for the alloy sump, I'd guess you'd want 14mm for a steel sump.

*This is a guess, half remembering the differences in thickness I noted the better part of a decade ago.

Some bolts holes are open end others closed so length is different
Some bolts also go into front ally covers
I found 3 different lengths were needed
