Now when we pulled it appart months ago we were bagging bolts and lableing them in plastic ziplocks so we wouldn't lose them/remember where they go. Or so we thought lol, every thing is here except the 4 corner bolts that mount the throttle body... I've looked locally no one has spare ones available, besides ordering them online we can make the trip to emerald from blackwater and we can get them made to order and they can machine them in house, I was wondering if that would be a suitable replacement and if so I was wondering if anyone here could somehow magically give me the dimensions for the bolt, head and most important the thread pattern?? as we could have the car running this afternoon instead of a few weeks... Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 5mm hex female headed (e.g. a 5mm allen key will undo it), 10mm head diameter, 6mm head height, 4mm shank height, 61mm length (e.g. from bottom of the "head" to end of the bolt), diameter of bolt is 5.76mm and the difference between peaks measures at 1.08mm. They may not be perfect measurements as it's literally the first time I've tried to measure bolts and I was only getting a specific value for the diameter and thread pitch as the length can be cut off wherever for the head/shank/length, e.g. M5.76-1.08x61M with the head/shank measurements I put above. This is all assuming it's a "metric" measurement of the bolt, e.g. following the instructions I followed in this video -> I'm sure somebody else could do a more precise job, but that information might get you by.
