I think I used 12mm when I had my Omega engine on a stand (but it might have been 14mm :-/)

If you take the flywheel off you can probably just use the bellhousing bolts. I found it more convenient to use lengths of studding and spacers that allowed the stand to clear the flywheel.

thanks for that, i had a check on a block i've got lying around and it looks to be 12mm bolts that fit exactly the holes featured in your pic so thanks for confirming  :y
