M5 is the diameter of the bolt and does mean a 5mm threaded section. the head is 8mm so you would use a 8mm spanner.

8.8 is the tensile strength of the bolt, it is printed on the head of a metric bolt. It's important you don't buy a replacement with a lower tensile strength.

I don't have one to measure the length handy but from memory they are about 20mm long (from the underside of the head to the end of the thread). If you can't confirm the exact length just screw a bolt in lightly and make sure it tightens the plate/cam gear in place before the thread bottoms out. If it is too long there is no issue cutting it shorter to suit.

So you would buy 8 bolts described as High Tensile (8.8 grade) M5x20mm, for example http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/M5-5MM-HIGH-TENSILE-NUT-BOLT-X10-SETS-M5-X-20MM-ZINC-GOLD-8-8-FREE-POST-/131933153719?hash=item1eb7d429b7:g:Dk8AAOSw8oFX0gMP

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
