Rover V8 fuel rail

[Poledriver]

I've just been investigating a bad starting/running problem with ny housemate's Wedge. After about 5 minutes of trying to start I noticed a pool of fuel on the top of the engine!
It appears to be the O/S fuel rail which has corroded and is leaking fuel out! This has obviously got worse due to the temperature change and will probably explain the poor running last time we took her out.
Where can I get a new one?

Also, I noticed that there are 4 bolts missing from where the manifold scews down to the engine!

The outer ones are all there but the inner ones are missing! There are 2 holes on each side of the manifold, each with washers sitting on them, but no bolts!
Does anyone know the size of these?

I've got a couple of spare EFI manifolds from early RV8s (flapper style systems) that I was keeping as spares for my SD1. That's now sold though, and the Chimaera has the later hotwire setup - if they'll be of any use you can grab a fuel rail for some beer tokens!
