Dealer?!

as much as im loving the one or two word replies.. lol

dealer wants too much for the bolts and they have to order them. takes 4-6 weeks to get. if i have too im going to lowes and getting reg bolts and putting em on... hope they dont vibrate loose...

Sorry, I'm a little abrupt at times. It doesn't really surprise me that the dealer doesn't have them, but it's always good to check. Don't worry yourself too much about heat etc., just try and use a washer head bolt so it doesn't mash he pan where the bolt goes through.

i will see what i can do.. :P

TO LOWES MY GOOD FELLOW !!!!

Probably any hardware store, bring your old bolts and just check the thread by using a nut and seeing if it will thread on both bolts. Make sure you get the same length though.

I know you want the clever little bolts with the captive washers and all but you can put regular bolts with washers and it'll work fine. If you are worried about matching them, just match the grade. My guess is they are an M6. I've found that autozone has a nice collection of automotive fasteners (ones that look and feel like the ones on your car with the cool little captive washer and all). Another place would be the junkyard. That should be an easy get. It might cost you a couple bucks to get in but you could probably walk out with them and they wouldn't care to charge you.

x2 on the junkyard. A while back I made a trip to my local Pick-n-Pull with the intent of stocking up on interior screws and common bolts. I spent about 30 minutes in a couple Toyotas and now have enough fasteners that I'll never have to worry.

Also x2 on going to any hardware or auto parts store if you're in a hurry though.

THANK YOU..

They are M6x1.00, (METRIC)
And they are sold anywhere... the grade of bolt is at the top...... 8.8
