After talking to @warp9.9 and @R-III-R Turbo - I went for the longer bolt solution they recommended too.
I'm not at home so cannot remember the spec's - But whilst inside - imo it makes simple sense to do it.
It's only 5 bolts and washers for added peace of mind.
I'm just making a list now thanks for mentioning the sump pan does that bolt clean off? Luckily I have all 10 bearings the cage holds 10 that was a major relief as for the the wavy washer well hopefully it's bathing in the sump, it's a pisser really I just done the oil change would filtering it through and replacing it be OKi remember pulling the starter out on a freshly paved back yard and the whole 5ltrs ooozed through my fingers I was like a slippery eel didn't expect that lol
For the bolt/washer thing - I bought 5mm ID washers and reamed them open to a close 6mm hole. M6 standard holes allow (for my taste) a bit too much wiggle.
And they are standard thread M6 ISO-C bolts - Which is a 1mm pitch.

Don't be fooled into using stainless bolts they are not typically high tensile unless forged and marked Gr8.8 or higher Gr 316 are far better than Gr304 - better to use high tensile carbon steel bolts if you are going to replace them and they will need to be M6 x 1mm ISO std. Gr: 8.8 or better

Well I left myself wide open to that! Lol the offer still stands as long as I'm around that is,and as long as I get my bike fixed in time I will depart this planet a happy man
