Well they are 8mm thread 1.25 pitch I think...just standard thread at that size (13mm head/spanner size)
The threads are in the silencer itself and if you are drilling out bolts you often just use slightly longer bolts with nuts.

When replacing the silencer it's common practice to drill out the threaded flanges and use nuts and bolts

Think ill take 3 of them off you kev, how much is postage? Also are they a little longer than M8x30 to accommodate the nut?
