MG TD TF 1500 - TD Bulkhead Bolt Head Size

Hi all, what were the MGTD original Factory bulkhead bolt head sizes (hex head size across the flats) ? The ones I am referring to affix the flange of the bulkhead to the body tub.

I gather there was also a washer under each head.

And yes, there are flat washers.

Also there were no writing on these either, just smooth tops. And don't forget you need longer ones (4) at the scuttle tube attachment and steering wheel bracket.
