For the crossover pipe you really want the allen socket. Yes a 2omm will work fine. For the large pipe for a 25mm.

The effort continues. Can't find the correct replacement screws/ bolt in stainless locally.

The cross over pipe flange screws are  M8-1.25x22. Thats an allen head type. The only hex head available in that length is a 20, not 22.

Will that work. It's in stock.
