Default License Plate Bracket Bolts

I have a 2000 Disco II that didnt have a rear license plate bracket. So I ordered a new one from Atlantic British. Well I got it today and it didn't come with the bolts to attach the frame to the holes in the door itself. Does anyone what size bolts they are or where I can get them from?

I had to take my truck to True Valve and we had to trial and error bolts until we found some that fit, they are odd ball size and thread pitch.

Mine are 5mm 0.8. I just checked them with my tap and die set.

Hope that helps

Buy em in aluminum.

Plenty strong, and no rust issues.

Better than stainless.
