‘78 Spitfire Clutch Master Cylinder

I replaced my clutch master cylinder a few years ago with an OEM replacement from Moss Motors. If I remember correctly it was about $60. Fast forward a couple of years and I now have hydraulic fluid leaking off of my clutch pedal onto my rubber floor mats, thankfully not the carpet and/or floor pans.

Has anyone upgraded the clutch master cylinder to the TRW brand that Spitbits sales, or does anyone have a better option? Not afraid to spend the extra money if the component has better longevity.

Bolt Identification ‘78 Spitfire

Can anyone help me identify the bolt type that will thread into the intake manifold at the two spots indicated in the photo. I am running a header and in the process of installing the header the original bolts have gone missing. I believe these bolts connect the intake and exhaust manifolds. They also serve as the mounting points for the carburetor heat shield brackets. I want to reinstall the original heat shield. Also, once the bolt size and thread are figured out what type of bolt should I use (metal type).

Thanks for ahead for any suggestions/ideas.
