I got mine powder coated to cover some corrosion and as a result I have mixed up some bolts and hardware. I can't remember how this should look. Are they allen head bolts? Is there a bracket on any of these water necks?

Pictures would help me know what I should look for in all the small bags and pots I have sitting around.

ps BTW
I believe that those screws are not just your run-of-the mill Allen heads? The heads of those specific screws, may have shorter heads, so there could be a clearance issue using standard screws, with the water neck. My friend Tom, told me he had some issues with screws he bought from a Porsche dealer ( i.e. replacement screws )

Excellent. Now I know which bolts to use.

Wow....real duct tape!!!

The bottom two bolts are the critical ones - they need to be the 'thin head' type shown in the pictures, the upper two just have to be the right length.

Is that a champagne cork in the turbo drain hole? now that's creative!

Thanks guys.
If I buy new ones based on the PET number will I get these bolts or a different type?

They wont shine as much but yeah. These are factory bolts.

I've never been clear on the part number for the thin head bolts, and it seems clear many cars came with normal head-thickness bolts for some reason. I may be the casting of the neck changed over the years, but I don't know that for sure. I punted and just ground a little off a regular allen head bolt. See thread here:

It is unclear in the PET, that is true. The reason I want new ones is that mine are rusty. I might just get some from mcmaster instead.

I just use a hex head instead of the thin allen head screws.
