What are the size bolt M?x? for the door hinges on these cars?

Are the M8x16 cheeseheads?

Guess I'd need 12, 6 per side or 3 per hinge.

There's a flat and lock washer that goes with each?

Thanks in advance....

Actually they are a special pointed or tapered bolt used only on the hinges of the doors
I think they are M8 x 1.25 x 35 or the like.
And yes Washers & split lock washers.

Top secret. There should 2 in each hinge when you pull the door braces.

I happened to have one in front of me when I opened this, so snapped a quick pic. Threaded length is 22mm and 28mm from shoulder to tip of point.

So is that the bolt that holds the hinge onto the door?

or holds the hinge onto the body?

I'm after the latter one....what bolts the hinges/doors to the body.
