I think the ford is 10mm fine and the rover is 3/8 fine They both have a really fine thread on them and I imagine are also a special grade of steel. Whether you can use 8.8 and equivalent I have no idea.

3/8 unf about 1 1/4" long with nylock nuts grade 8 fastners, as for the ford end if there metric fine they need to be marked 8.8 any good nut and bolt shop should supply these

I tried getting some Ford bolts from a main dealer and it was like pulling teeth! They came back with the wrong bolt 3 times (metric coarse) - that meant 3 separate visits to the dealer to be presented with the same wrong bolts each time!!! In the end I gave up and fitted the originals that I still had so you've just reminded me that I really ought to get some new ones.
