172 Engine Cover Bolts. What size ? ?

[D1CKY]

Does anyone know what the size, pitch etc the screws are on the Engine Cover fitted to my 172 ?

And does anyone know how much the engine cover bolts are from Renault ?

In case i can't get any form a hardware store etc.

As if ruined a couple of mine remving them, they were tight so i had to cut a slot in the heads of them with a hacksaw to enable them to be removed by a flat screwdriver

Halfords sell them but they are only bolts, not torx.

Don't suppose anyone has a couple of clips for a 1.6 engine cover??

The two bolts i need are the ones for the front of the engine cover

The short ones, as the rear of the cover ones are longer
