I just use standard M8 stainless set screws (M8 x 1.25mm pitch I think). These will have decent 13mm heads instead of the M12, hollow crown, collapsing Toyota bolts .

25mm length will be fine.

I coat the threads with 'Optimol TA' anti-sieze paste as well, just to be sure that they come out again .

If I was in UK, I would probably pay a few pounds more and buy stainless steel, those screws take a hammering under there
