They are imperial sizes, you need metric like m10, m12 etc

[mk1nova_rich]

are you sure you need to go as big as M12?? i have read the article and i think a combination of M8 and M10 is the preferred choice.

Don't forget your misalignment spacers too!! Otherwise the rose-joints wont be able to move enough

The shopping list looks right to me. I used M10 and M12 when I made mine. I had to file one of the M12 nuts down a lot though as it was fouling on the gearbox. While you're at it, buy or make yourself some of these bushes (http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=1170&cat=1880&page=1).
