Absolutely ain't M8. I'll try to remember to measure tomorrrow. You should be able to get one at your FLAPS, but it won't look the same.

Slits isn't too far from R/C. Maybe he'll chime in. It's 12mm, IIRC. A flywheel bolt would chew up the gasket.

When I have had to use the flywheel bolt I didn't use a gasket.. seals like a charm.. Should only be done when you have nothing else

I was wondering if Hillco Fastners over on Western near Garden Grove Blvd might stock these, they carry just about everything else...

Dave,
Now that you have the size, why not try the local Lowes or a place called King Bolt in Covina. King Bolt carries a very large selection of fasteners. Do you know the length by any chance?
