ETKA shows that every mounting point uses a bolt, except one that is vague in
the picture.

The top alt bolt is a special bolt (due to the VW part number) 8mm x 25mm long
The bottom alt bolt is standard, 8mm x 75mm long and goes through the bracket.

That lower bracket only shows the nuts, which are 8mm.  It looks like the studs
come off the engine, possibly the head?
