OK, I've found the Mistu part number for a replacement heat shield bolt (MR385780), but what I want to know is what are parameters of this piece if I wanted to replace it with an aftermarket piece? (12mm head, what thread type and depth?)

 

Anyone know if we can go to the hardware store and buy these? I'd like to know the dimensions as well.

 

You might be able to find them at a hardware store that sells metric bolts. I know they are hard to find unless you go through Mitsu.

 

They have to be grade 8 blots as they are under a ton of heat!! If you get cheap bolts, they WILL break off in the manifold!! I'd stick with the stockers!!

 

ummm, i have 3 sets in my tool box.. pm if u want em

 

hmmm. there all missing except for 1.. nvm sorry
