Bolt size for Water Blanking Plate behind Fuel Regulator 1.8L 8V Counterflow Engine

Does anybody know what the bolt size is for the blanking plate behind the fuel regulator. Mk1 Golf 1989 Counterflow head. I Stripped both bolt heads then had to drill them and use easy outs to get them out. Needless to say im in the market for two new bolts. I think they are M8 x15 and allen key heads. I think there are similar if not the same as the ones listed in the link for a beetle? The main thing is the bolt head has to be shallow enough to be be recessed into the plate and sit in the recess holes of the plate so the fuel regulator sits flush on the plate. Would be great if anybody can confirm what i need and or where i can purchase them. Obviously dont need the plate just the bolts. Thanks

I;d be staggered if they are different to those on a DX engine

at ridiculous postage, but you can see the head is failry standard size. If it were me, I;d just by an M8 x 18 socket head bolt, if the head is to thick, grind a bit off it  ;)
But that's me.
