Which size it it you need?
The 6 or 8 (year depending) main bolts are M10 X 25mm long with a built in washer and 13mm spanner size.
The 2 rear bolts are M6 X 20mm again with a built in washer but with a 10mm spanner size.
Both of these will be available on EBay for not much.
However LR used a small spanner size than normal for there bolts, so generic replacements will need a larger spanner. This is an advantage when it rusts up.
Both sizes are available from here.

The front screws are 4mm IIRC. I'll measure mine, when I get a chance. Those won't be expensive and could likely be found in Halfrauds.

There are some great threads on how to make a better sump guard yourself where you can change the plastic tray to metal (I used a bit of Chequerplate or something) then you only have to drop the plate off and can leave the 13 or something bolted frame in place. I think Alibro May have done it. Definitely pictures somewhere.
