Default cosworth 4x4 front prop bolts help needed

OH the fucking pain

slight clicking noise got louder and louder driving the car

My front props just dropped off via the shaft flange side outside my house lucky enough

it would appear after my new clutch was fitted. the bolts on the shaft to the front diff have been finger tight

ive got one left after the clunky noise ..that one fell out as my mechanic watched me drive down the street ..as i thought the transfer box was fucked

Can you imagine the damage caused if this would have happened at high speed

Q what size are the bolts please
