Exclamation Metal trays bolt size under 951, need bolt size quickly please!

Hey all,

I've been gone and away for a while, am back where I have them I can put them back under the car (long story) and wouldn't you know it, someone has taken those bolts (and nuts if there are some!) and put them somewhere safer and now we can't find them at all. These are the two big metal pans that everyone used to wonder if they were needed or not that go under the oil pan and connect from the batwing at the front under the engine and have to be removed when you work under the car. I'm here only a day or two before leaving again and Chuck at Paragon didn't have them in stock to get them shipped here in time before I move, so he was kind enough to tell me their sizes but as I was in the car at that moment, I'm not sure exactly what they were but I was thinking they were 5X15mm.

Anybody know? I know there are also 2 on the sides of the one pan that weren't even right on mine when I bought it (one side different than the other) and that they were smaller.

Thanks for your help, Rennlist rocks!

I recall that info being asked before and answered. A search might yield results.

I found a source I had a while back on my computer for those parts....says M6X15, there are 11 of them and 13 washers (8 of them as spacers) plus 2 nuts for the sides of the metal pan itself that the turbo has although mine has been lacking those since I got it and someone had removed the studs/bolts that those nuts attached to and had put screws in there. Just trying to get the parts as quick as I can....lots of packing still to go before I move to Florida and flight school!

Thanks!

Go to the closest hardware store and get 12 stainless steel M6 x 12 mm bolts. I would use SS washers as well.Good luck!
