Just hoping someone could give me the bolt size please as marked on the pic for reference as just found out after a gearbox seal was replaced that the garage either haven’t put the bolt in or it’s shaken out Any help is really appreciated, Mikey

I really must bookmark one of these parts catalog sites. Someone will probably put a link up.

Strange that one is missing, of the 4, its the easiest by far to put in and secure.

I could move the IRD casing about 3 or 4mm by lifting the propshaft so I’m not convinced about the other 3 being secure to be honest. Just hope there’s no damage done. I tried to look on a parts catalogue but wasn’t sure which bolt is was.

I forget if all 4 bolts are the same spec.

If you don't get any luck, with a part number/spec.

You could try removing another bolts and see if it fits the missing location. Then you know what you need.

Alternatively, a trip to a breakers yard and grab the bolt.
