These are the ones you need. I had to get mine form the States as nobody in the UK had them, not even Lightohouse. The old ones can be a bastard to get out so have fun....

got mine from local engineering factors, Garth Engineering, just took one in as a sample and they identified it and supplied stainless steel versions all the same except they were hex and not torx, cost pennies each

The advice from Nosebolt nearly 2 years ago :

5/16" unc x 1" and you can get stainless countersunk with alan key heads over the counter and any faster supplier

I went for 5/16" stainless alan head in the end and it looks the nuts.

Picked them up over the counter of FWB but you can order on line as well.
