    I need the size for the (4) lower ones that attach to the radiator support and the (2) upper ones that are larger and fit into the strut towers

    Also the (4) "clam shell" bracket bolts that are visible, not the ones inside the radiator support bar

    I am trying to get these in stainless or even socket-head type to clean up the engine bay

    Ive taken them to the parts store trying to match them up best I can, and I cant get them either in stainless or at all

    Thanks in advance



    PS

    Also the bolts to hold the coil packs in place. The l26 ones I saved are too thick , no idea where the l67 ones went

    Did you check the bolt size thread? Oh nevermind that just says what size the head is. And I assume you are looking for like the thread pitch and length.

    In case anyone else is wondering

    I think the top bolts , the ones in the strut towers are
    M10x40mm 1.50 pitch?
    I think the ones in the radiator support are
    M8x25 1.25 pitch?

    Thanks again James!

    im not too sure about the drill/tap skills I may or may not have. Just looking for a quick fix to replace the rusty hex head bolts.
    Even the supercharger bolts like the vacuum tree and pcv cover.

    Next mission - new coil pack bolts

    it's probably cheaper to buy a 10-32 tap and bolts then it is to buy 6 4 millimeter bolts that are long enough
