Can someone tell me what it should be? My manual doesn't list it for some reason.

Cheers...

Cheers Nev. I thought they were captive bolts/nuts as there's a bolt head on the back of the flange. That's 2 things I've learned from this one thread

Proper name is Bolt, Serration. I suppose they have a hex head in case they strip the splines. Another reason which I think they may be splined is to maintain proper alignment.
