You may not have all of them, those towbar brackets usually come fwd further than the bumper brackets. Check!
There are usually two 17mm and one 19mm headed bolts. per side (M10 and M10 respectively) the 19mm's being the furthest fwd (IIRC)
Get some from a good hardware store and cut them down (8.8 grade fine, they're all in shear), clean up the ends so they start well, and also get some suitably sized thick flat washers to go under the heads.
Nuts/bolts for tow bar ????

Thanks all, I have been on nights so not had the chance to check under the van yet. Will do it soon and see what's what. Cheers

Take one of the existing bolts out for comparison - I forget which but my towbar needed extended bolts through the bumper brackets and at least some of them were metric fine, still fairly readily available although beyond most DIY-type outlets. Does depend exactly how it mounts though, there seem to be quite a few different methods.
Why does the not quite finished job before last always conspire with the not quite started job after next to make what you should be doing now harder?
