ETKA shows that every mounting point uses a bolt, except one that is vague in the picture. The top alt bolt is a special bolt (due to the VW part number) 8mm x 25mm long The bottom alt bolt is standard, 8mm x 75mm long and goes through the bracket. That lower bracket only shows the nuts, which are 8mm. It looks like the studs come off the engine, possibly the head?
