Re: tap size?
Ah, you didn't put bolts in then when you had it done?
M10 x 1mm maybe?
Take one of your disc bolts to a tool shop and they'll match it up.
Alternativly get a cheap set of tap and dies, they nearly all come with a thread gauge so you can match up the thread :-)

Re: tap size?
I'm pretty certain they're a standard M8 x 1.25mm thread, but might be M6 x 1.0mm. As Neo suggests, take to your local toolshop and they'll match it no problem.
