i looked in the PET to see what i could find and the best i could find was 8 x 12mm and 8 x 16mm. at least it's 8mm for sure. i think you could even use a bolt found at your local hardware store. i am also looking for a great source of metric hardware. in my engine reassembly, almost every time i start something, the stud, bolt, washer, oring, something critical is missing.

I just found a site called BoltDepot, which has assortments of metric bolts, nuts, washers, etc. The $130-150 price of their assortments is a relative bargain. 15 years ago, I bought a similar assortment from Imparts (RIP) for $40, and only ran out of stuff a couple of years ago. $3/year to not have to make a trip to the store for a bolt is well worth the money, and even $15/year for 10 years is still more than worth it, esp. if you could finish the job tonight, or you have to wait until tomorrow when the store opens.

I haven't ordered from them, yet, but I plan to.

O-ring assortments can be had from a few places, including Harbor Freight.

plus james, with something like that you could try different ones....1mm thread pitch, 1.25mm pitch...and see which one fit.

German cars typically use 8mm x 1.25. Asian cars do, too. Where the big difference comes in is at 10mm, with the Germans using 1.5 and the Asians preferring (in most cases) 1.25. The Cap'n

yeah, sorry, 1.25 pitch typical. PET didn't specify pitch
