Default Help me find a bolt on PET

Does anyone know the part number or where on PET to find the bolts marked in this picture as 42?

I have never been able to find that bolt in PET. I have always just tried various lengths until I found one that worked.

Tom,

To be honest, I was looking for the similar bolt on an 89 2.7 head. As it turns out, the 89 head uses a single M8 x 45mm bolt (or at least that was the length that seemed best suited). The turbo head has two bolts of different lengths, but I can't tell you what they are (without pulling my motor apart).

They are M8 bolts, I just don't know the lengths. I think one is approximately the same length as the intake bolts, and then the other one is maybe 1/2" longer?

Rear one is 35mm and front one is 55mm. Just measured mine since they're out.

I bought replacement bolts today, so I figured I'd add clarification for future reference:

Rear bolt = M8 x 1.25 (thread pitch) x 35mm
Front bolt = M8 x 1.25 (thread pitch) x 55mm

Found at True Value Hardware with hex heads. They have allen head bolts but only in sizes x10 (20/30/40/50, etc.) so you'd have to buy the next longest size and cut it down.

They also had chrome bolts, which I stared at like a deer in headlights, but couldn't bring myself to spend $4 per bolt that no one can even see.
