Replacing hardware - Need help please

Hello all,

My brother and I are continuing to rebuild a 2003 R53 MCS... Unfortunately we are missing a bit of hardware (and some bolts were stripped or snapped and need to be replaced.

Here are the bolts I am looking for:
1. Replacement for all of the bell housing bolts
2. Replace (2) bolts that secure the crush tubes to the front of the mini (not the bolts that come from below to secure the crush tubes to the subframe)
3. (3) 10mm bolts that secure the input shaft glide tube and cover the input shaft seal.

I am looking on outmotoring but can't seem to search by picture and I don't know the actual specs of these bolts. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Above

In cases like this, I prefer to search by actual p/n rather than guess. RealOEM is your friend: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sel...e=0&series=R53
You will be able to access the exploded view diagrams and determine the correct p/n you need. Once you get that information, post it. I have an extensive assortment of new old stock MINI hardware and, hopefully, I may have some or all of the items you need and/or other members may be able to help.
