Does anyone know if the fluid pan bolt holes go completely through the box. a couple of mine seem to have pulled out some threads. The bolt that I pulled out is an M8 16 mm 1.25 pitch but the Bentley says it should be a 20 mm bolt.

Had a chance to get under the Tintop and see if there are open holes thru the bolt holes.
I could not find any 25mm length bolts so I bought 30mm and they installed great! I had too
clean out the tops of the holes of all crud and gunk so the bolts passed thru cleanly.
No more leaking fluid.

How far do the longer bolts stick out? Congrats on stopping the leak by the way... Cool
