Default Transmission pan replacement pan bolt size?

I'm changing my traini filter and fluid in my 2002 XK8. I want to change the T-27 torx bolts to hex head (or anything other than torx), Would someone kindly tell me the size/dimensions of the bolts I need to buy ?Thanks.

If you upgrade to the much-improved T-40 Torx bolts, you will be fine....

You are referencing the 6HP26 gearbox but we don't know if he is discussing the 5HP24?

Are the ZF 5HP24 and ZF 6HP26 factory bolts different in length, thickness, or thread?

5hp = m6x23

6hp plastic = m6x29

6hp metal and ford 6r = m6x20

new genuine 5hp t40 bolts are $6.30 each, no go
