Wheel bolts

Does anyone have any of the flat washer type wheel bolts, suitable for Series 1 alloys, spare?

I have 12 bolts with the 44mm threads so need another 8 to make up a set.

Are locking bolts/studs available for these wheels?

I do have eight bolts with 36mm threads, but understand these to be too short. Can anyone confirm that is the case as I don't have the wheels here at present.

EDIT:
Having checked the amount of protruding thread when inserted through the spare steel wheel (with the additional thickness bushes), there is plenty of thread available with either bolts and slightly more than my other car bolts as supplied by the manufacturer.
So the question now is, do I need all the bolts to be long bolts at all?

Hi Dieselman

Are they the ones that I sorted out.
Never noticed they were different lengths.
Strictly you only need the long ones.
Wheel centre is cast thicker if it has a hub hole.
The others are from MonteCarlo solid centre wheels.
Decide what you need and let me know.

Hi John,
Yes these are the ones you gave me.

I need eight longer bolts if you have them.

TIA.

Hi Robert.
If these are the type with a flat washer under the cap, then I would appreciate them. I think John is going to have a look when he can, but I appreciate we don't always have time immediately.
I want to get he wheels fitted as soon as they are ready.
I'll PM you my addy if these are indeed the correct bolts.
