LOL yeah, good luck with that one. Hit up ACE first thing in the AM.
OR... start walking into random gas stations and asking for one, and take a pic of the checker's face as soon as you ask it. Then post pics.Comment

I hate when this shit happens. Especially when it happens on a Saturday night when shops open later on Sundays, or the night before a holiday.. if I had bolt with such specs I'd help out, but sadly I do not. Sorry man and good luck

What happened to the old bolts? Lost, stripped, snapped?Comment

i had my friend helping me for the dissasembly/ RTV part, snapped one bolt so i bought a replacement for it but he put one from another fitting in the one that had snapped.... so then i thought i needed one bolt that was longer and we had nothing but the one i had bought as replacement, couldn't get anything to work and then i found there was another bolt not in! so then two bolts missing and my friend left, i looked everywhere didn't find anything...
pretty mad, but i can't blame him he was helping me for free so no complaining there, i'll handle it and everything should be cool.Comment

Bummer. Were they still too short? Zellers hardware down town. Oh yeah, buy the new ones in stainless, and use a little anti-seize.

Lesson - always buy extra hardware.Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|Comment

got all the correct hardware and still no fucking luck....
pretty mad right now. no idea but the bolts will catch thread for a few turns and create increasing tension on the bolt as it turns, but then all the sudden a few turns later there is no tension.
could the gasket or RTV be interfering? im pretty bummed and pissed off.
edit: lesson learned: don't let your friends wrench on your car...... even if they have fully rebuilt there own -__-
i fucking wish i tackled this on my own....Comment

Threads are probably stripped if the bolts are good.
Don't know the situation but there are a few solutions. I know I've broken things before, it happens.Originally posted by z31maniacComment
