Need Help - Radiator Screw Size

[Jkersh]

Hey Guys,

I seemed to have lost my 2 screws to mount my radiator.

As far as I know the P# is 17111712142

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=1254&mospid=47308&btnr=17_0005&hg=17&fg=05&hl=58

The notes state: ST6,3X22-Z2

which honestly mean nothing to me...

Im having difficulty finding a replacement, no auto places or home improvement places have anything similar in stock.

Anyone know the exact size and pitch of this thing? I'm trying to place an order on McMaster-Carr for a replacement.

Thanks for the help.

Go to your dealer and get them by part number. Those are essentially a long sheet metal screw and while you might find a substitute that sort of works the OE part will work better.

If it comes down to it I will. But @ $5.27/ea its hard to swallow $20 for 4 screws.

The GM must be insane
