I was doing a plenum spacer with Iso gasket and went putting back in I cracked a bolt. Thankfully I got it out but now I need a new bolt for the lower plenum. Anyone know where I can get one asap???
Give me a PM if you need any help.
I can send you one but it will take a little time to get there. Otherwise just open up a yellow pages and call several auto shops and ask for this bolt. They should have one.
Excellent customer service as usual...
i had the same problem (over torqued). no one in my area had it (went to a bunch of diff dealerships). i ended up having to order from dealership. took about 3 days or so. it came from tennessee some where.
In my experience, the dealerhip is actually the worst place to get them from. They never have them in stock.
You will have much better luck with hardware stores and auto part stores.

WEnt to some local auto stores and ended up going to the dealer ship. I got them yesterday just to snap another Two bolts. Thank god I got 4 when I ordered. I was going by the youtube from motordyne on how to install and they claim 40,80 then 100 foot of torque. I am not able to get my up to 40 pounds before they snap. Anyone actually put 80 - 100 foot torque on these stock bolts?
From experience; the cheap inch/lb torque wrench available at most Auto supply stores are too inaccurate to torque the plenum to spec. Yep, I guilty of snapping a couple of these bolts using a inch/lbs torque wrench on a friends car on a Saturday morning... Spent a couple of hours to find the correct bolts... Best to follow Tony's instructions! Good luck

Yea I got a reply from the stealership and they told me that I should use the inch/lb tourque wrench or he said its easy to just to it without. He told me to just feel it out and not to tight. Just needs to be tight enoghf to stop air leakage and not hold compression.
i had the same problem, i overtorqued mine and it snapped, but i got the bloody thing out and purchased a new one from the dealership. then i just hand tightened all the bolts. still running strong with no problems..thus far.
