I've lost both of the bolts on my filters and I don't know what size they are. The aren't M6. Anybody got these and know what size bolt I need?

Probably quarter inch english thread.
I bought a set of filters from machine 7 and installed the K&N filter elements in them as mine were knackered and those definitely are M6

The bolts screw the lids down (I have the other type on my other engine). They look exactly like the bolts in the image

Just fitted some new K&N filters (911)...the bolts to hold the lid down are slightly bigger than M6.

I ordered some wing nuts:

Inner Diameter-Thread Size: #12-24

Thanks guys. I ordered some #12-24 countersunk bolts. If that doesn't work I will buy the k&n ones.

During my search for the bolts I found a Harley Davidson bolt which cost £25 so that isn't just Porsche tax!
