Just had a quick measure up on the car & I think the bolts you need are M8x30 which is 8mm for the cone washer/FWH, 8mm for the spacer & 14mm to go into the hub. The standard Jimny E Torx are 40mm & too long.

Nice of you to do that.

Did they look like a regular thread or fine? Are they allen bolts or hex?

Arghhhh, that complicates things and bumps up the price.

Put M8x30 into eBay search and take your pick that's what I did when I changed the FWH on my sisters Vitara & they fitted.

Standard pitch is coarse 1.25 and fine is 1 to the mm. I'd count 1cm worth of threads to see if there are 12.5 or 10 but I am having to wait for the E10 torx to arrive before I can pull one to see. The fine are a lot more expensive.

I've just found out there are no bolts with the hubs so I will need to source some.
