Handy Tip #1 - The front bolts from the rear footpeg hangers are exactly the same as the ones holding the front brake caliper on.

Handy Tip #2 - You won't need Handy Tip #1 if you make sure to retorque your brake caliper after changing the front wheel, and double check it after each of the first few trips

It got me home in one piece. As I don't have easy access to new bolts, can anyone tell me if the bolts are completely the same, or do I urgently need to get the proper bolts in there

I don't need the rear hanger bolts, cos I've taken the rear hangers off.

i would get the proper bolts. dont know what spec they would be, but i would not rely on rear hanger bolts in an emergency stop, or maybe hard braking even

I have two sets of wheels. One for track days, one for commuting. I think I'll swap em over a week before the track day. I'd rather discover one's come loose decellerating from 80 kph at the traffic lights than from 220 kph going into turn 1
