Take the out and measure them mate. I cant remember if they are M6 or M8. M6- 6mm wide threads, m8- 8mm threads. Then the length is measured from the base of the head (the surface that will touch the rocker cover) to the end of the bolt. So something like
M6 x 20. I presume you want to know so you can order some fancy new ones. Once you know the size you can get all types and sizes dead cheap from ebay.

yes anywhere between 20 - 25mm long will be fine. if your using the same thickness washers as the originals.
