I can't find the details just now, but there was a Norwegian Youtuber (who I think also posts on here), who had to tap out the captive nuts to fit his roof rack. I'm sure he mentioned the size - perhaps M10s? If I can find the link would that help you identify the size of bolts you need?
Starting about 15 mins in. I think he just says "six" for the bolt, so perhaps try a generic M6 and see if it fits? If this is the same bolts you are meaning!Previously:

When I swapped my short rails for long ones i brought these as the chap I brought them off sent me the following info:
The instructions for fitting the roof rails are here - https://media.disco3.co.uk/ownerinfo/LR006...006442.pdf
------------
Note they don’t come with bolts, - you will need some 20mm M6 (I think) allen key head bolts – I used the bolts to put my short roof rails back on before I sold the Landy, but I have kept a bolt back which you can have to get the right parts. Something like this with a washer would do - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162105088207

I brought these as a couple of mine had sheared-off:

Thank you guys for your help, I need the type of bolt that goes in the rail slot of the roof rail,
dose that make sense?
A bolt that slots in the bottom of the roof rail and you can tighten up and the bottom of the bolt will stay in the slot and not turn,Discovery 4 2015 HSE Lux Gauseway Grey

Sounds like "T" Bolts - as used to secure items to slotted tables of a lathe or milling machine ...... ??

I've a bracket for my cb aerial attached to the roof rail, made by RLD, Ray Dewhurst on this forum, it fits into the rail, he could maybe make you something or maybe this.
