Replacement Bolts for U/L intake

[swallent]

Does anyone know if ARP or someone makes replacement bolts for like the fuel rails and bolting our Upper and Lower intakes together? Been on Jegs and Summit and cant seem to find anything. perhaps my search skills suck...

I guess 10 year old botls tend to snap heads off when being torqued to spec :fm::fm::fm::fm::fm: Time to break out the helicoil kit....grrrr

ace hardware has what you need

that's where i got a few for mine. I broke one off in the upper intake and had to get it out and retap that threads.

So there is no kit? thats cool I can respect that...does someone have some diagrams and lists of bolt lengths and thread sizes I can get?

 

[Doug]

pull one out and take it to ace. I think they are 10mm fine thread at 2.5"

Duh!! LOL....one last question do they need to be brass like the factory ones? or grade 8 steel ok?

 

[Doug]

grade 5 should be plenty strong enough. its not load bearing or anything. there are like 14 of them.
