Guys does anyone know or could possibly measure the length of the bolts that hold the factory recovery point at the rear? I got an upgraded recovery point from Tinus but I want to make sure the bolts are the correct length. Thanks

You need at least 20mm going into the chassis, so (assuming the plate is 12mm thick) anything from 35mm on will work.
There is a lot of space there, so you can use bolts that are considerably too long without issues.
I would go for 40-50mm.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

Indeed they are. But I can't remember which thread pitch. I think M10 x 1.25, but I am not sure.
