Default Rear lower brace, bolt size?

I have a Spoon lower brace to go on and the bolts are useless after removing them. I dont want to buy new Spoon "bolts" as they're crap if they get corroded any bit. I want the standard bolt but longer, they're size 12 iirc and number 14 here. Does anyone know will a normal threaded M12 size do if i just get it longer?

From memory I'd say they're M10 bolts rather than M12, but maybe not. Whichever they are they are 1.25 pitch not the standard 1.5 or 1.75

They are not M10 , they are metric fine10mm or as said 1.25 pitch , you should be able to get plated or even stainless ones from a "fastener supplier"

Oh my mistake Chippo! Ignore me! I could have sworn I used a coarse thread bolt last time!
