General - Replacing Bolts

[UserError]

Some of the bolt heads of the rear hub assembly took a bit of a pasting due to stiffness. I would rather replace these, and I've got the other side to do. I've rummaged around on the web a bit but can't find M7 10.9 bolts (mostly only even numbers) - Are they dealer parts or can anyone recommend a helpful supplier?

Also, they've got a flange/built in washer (for extra friction or load-spreading?) whereas normal hex bolts don't have this.

Cheers

Hi 10.9 spec bolts are Hi Tensile spec, only bolts with the same spec can be used. They should not be too expensive from the dealer this would ensure the correct spec bolts are used. Do not fit any other type of bolt.

Thanks for the confirmation, wouldn't dream of going less than 10.9, but it was the size & shape issue.

Not so much the cost, more of a pain getting to the dealer (car's in pieces and dealer in next town) over having a jiffy bag land on my doormat. However, given the total lack of anything remotely tempting, the dealer it is. It's pretty sobering, looking at those 4 small bolts holding the hub assembly on.....
