XS650. Engine cases capscrew lengths

If you ever want to change the capscrews on XS650 engine casings for something such as stainless, here's the list of sizes so you can order them from your favourite supplier.
Got mine from ebay as a complete set (which meant I didn't have to measure them), but the supplier included the Dia/length info in the delivery, so thought I'd share it.
LHS
2 off M5 x 10
4 off M6 x 25
2 off M6 x 40
RHS
7 off M6 x 25
1 off M6 x 40
4 off M6 x 75
Apparently these suit bikes from the 1973 TX650 to the 1983 XS650 LK (which I guess is all of ‘em).
ebay set was about £9 delivered

I'm a little way off needing them for my own XS yet, but will file that away for future reference.

I bought a set of stainless screws/bolts for an ols honda 400/4 once. Came in a bag, no info. I`d already had the engine apart for about two months and had no idea where each individual screw went, took a while to figure out and still had two left over at the end pmsl

I bought a set for my Superdream (excessive I know but it was my baby!) and they came with a list but all in a few bags so I took them all out and sorted out which was which and sellotaped them onto a large piece of cardboard, and wrote on the card what they all were. Not only was it a great help but I found the same method useful when taking things apart, and I also learned a lot about the names of different types of fasteners.

I don't suppose anyone has the same info for a reliant engine by any chance?
