Subaru bolt sizes

Can anyone tell me the bolt size, thread and pitch for the scooby ej engines please! I need some of the bolts that attach the engine to the gearbox (or in my case the adaptor plate).

The scooby breakers can't seem to be bothered sourcing and selling just the bolts so they are no help!

Cheers
John

ok so the bolts are M10 x 1.25 but any idea of bolt length required and i assume 8.8 high tensile, or can i get away with stainless?

Just go to your local scooby gaff. ISTR the bolts are around £1.50 each for the engine to g/box
