The first bolt is listed as a M10x140 in ETKA.

Be sure you use at least Class 10.9 bolts and nuts.  Generally socket head
bolts are Class 12.9.  Carriage bolts from big box stores are usually junk.
 Buy from a specialized fastener supplier (either local or online) if you
are not totally pleased at what you find initially.
