just go to your local hardware store and get some hex head cap machine screws in stainless. It's the same thing the factory uses. I'm not sure what size they are though.

99% sure they are 1/4- 20 bolts. But I personally would only use the factory ones because of the shoulder that they have to keep the airbox cover protected from too much clamping force.

Also its nice to be able to use the torx wrench on all of them too from the toolkit.

The toolkit comes with a flathead screwdriver too, and you should have other basic tools with you too : )

+1 Andy, you will break the cover if you torque down bolts without a shoulder.
