What size thread is the bolts that bolt the guards on?

My boys thought they were too rusty to go back in and, god bless their little cotton socks, decided to throw them out for me.

Off to buy new guard bolts - What size please guys (and gurls).

Bronze

They are 8mm x 1.25mm and around 19mm long

Buy a tap n run it through the threads before you fit the guards on, makes it easier. A tap is only a few $ and you will always have it.
