Seat bolts

I have a question about the types of bolts used for the seats. I need to find a set of longer than standard bolts that fit the holes that mount the seats.
Does anyone know what the thread is, and possibly a supplier? The bolts only need to be 1/4" longer.
 
Dali ships longer ones with their harness bar kit, but I'm not sure exactly how much longer they are. Just take them to the hardware store and measure the thread. Make sure you torque them properly when you install them - since they are going into aluminum it is very easy to over-torque and strip it out, which means you have to re-tap.

10 x 1.25mm is the diameter & thread pitch - don't know about the length, but that is easy to measure. Get them at any H/ware store or auto accessory stores might have them - Halfords still around over there? :D
Torque is 40Nm (4.0kg-m; 24 lb-ft)
 
Thanks for that. After your reply I remembered I have a pitch gauge thing with a tap&die set. The number on the bolts is 10, which leads to believe it is a high tensile bolt. Halfords does still exist, but they won't do high stength bolts like that.
