I guess you are talking falco here ?
Mine are not c/sunk but proud, overall 20mm.
The caliper mount bracket is 10mm thick so you would need 7 or 8 mm thread length.
Just been out and measured it for you !
Thats a 2001 model so later may differ

As far as I'm aware front and rear disc bolts are exactly the same. And not countersunk, but flanged.

The brake caliper mounting bolts are the same front to rear and are m10x1.25x35mm (excluding the hex flange).

The disk itself is irrelevant to the mounting of the calipers...

If you had said DISC mounting bolt I would not have gone and measured the CALIPER mounting bolt.

Look at it this way I could have lied or just edited the post :)

It was something the guy who did the tyres said

Basically you want to get some of these or it won't fit and true to form I wrote half of what he said on a fag packet and now can't find said fag packet :)
