Lost a crank bolt from TSDZ2 kit

[d-s-m]

Whilst out riding my TSDZ2 converted bike, the left hand crank fell off and I couldn't find the bolt....so I bought some Shimano Steps E6000 cranks but they did not come with any bolts....so can I just use one of the crank bolts that were originally on the bike before the conversion, as they look exactly the same? Or should I buy some 'upgraded' ones?

They should be fine, but make sure the thread is correct, test fit the bolt in the crank by hand before you fit the arm, don't force it with a spanner. I'm fairly sure all crank bolts are M8x1.0mm thread.

Thanks, I ended up just buying a new pair from Halfords, and I also go some blue loctite for them so hopefully I won't have any more falling cranks.
