What Size Bolt Do I Need Please? Astrotrac Wedge to Pier Fitting

[Specman]

Hey Guys!

Anybody know what size and length bolts I need to mount my Astrotrac Wedge to the Pier Plate?

In their infinite wisdom, Astrotrac don't include bolts to fit everything together, in the package! Knor do they include instructions

THREE BOLTS! Have you seen the cost of these things? I ask you, is it just me?

Thanks for your help, in anticipation

Do the details at the bottom of this page help?

Thanks James, Yes I figured they are 8mm but no details regarding exact length. If they are too long they will damage the wedge. I can mess about, order different sizes and try them out, but it cost a lot of dosh and I'd rather not wing it.

Thanks for you help though

Prod a piece of wire down the hole and measure how far it goes in, then order something that long plus the thickness of your pier head less 5mm?
