your best bet would be some stainless M5 or even M6. Would be a shame to fit stainless finishers with rusting bolts.

WHS^^^ and make sure you gaffa tape the rear of the finisher where it contacts the outer sill or you will get severe corrosion between the two different types of metal. I used Homebase M6 Zinc Plated nuts and bolts, cheap and cheerful.

It always pays to shop around before you order

i've never heard of that supplier though!

I found out about them from a posting on this site

Only bought the sill finishers from them so far. The postage is quite expensive (£8.95) and the service is slower than ESM but the total cost still beats other suppliers prices. Might work out dearer for smaller items though.

If you want to be really finnicky, the correct size bolts are 3/16BSF, though I admit not too easy to obtain in stainless...
Namrick in Hove may well have them and theres a couple of other suppliers doing the autojumble circuit with stainless whitworth fasteners.
Personally I prefer BSF. Its like metric but just sort of scaled up a bit which gives nice larger heads and a slightly less fine thread form - all which helps the next time you undo them!
