Mark I think they are different on the front and back mate and it may depend on how old they are. Have you taken them to your lbs or a local bolt & fastning supplier?

That might be the best idea mate. There are one or two cycle shops on eBay doing sets, I might get a set of each and see how it goes. Could be complicated by the alloy rear/plastic front hubs of my 85 build.....
