Hey guys I am putting back together my 1.8. I had some oil leaks and being roughly a 50 year old car, thought the engine could use some new seals and gaskets. So I took the engine down to the point of removing and powder coating the tins, replaced tube seals, new front and rear engine seals, new temp bellows, hooked back up the flaps, etc... Just to give you an idea of how far this went. Also replaced the flywheel, clutch, seal, etc.
I thought I had done a good job of marking everything and placing into baggies but ended up with a baggie of three black 8mm bolts about 1 1/4” long. They are the same approximate size of the exhaust bolts but already had that baggie with the exhaust gaskets and all six bolts. The fan is complete and bolted down. My only other thought is the air fan housing by the oil cooler as It has three holes and fit 8mm bolts. I used one hole to mount the oil cooler bracket and same spot for the wire holder instead of the lower opening. They fit there but I think they are to long to thread all the way in. Just looking to see what anyone has a thought on where they might go. Or if they were already in the trunk when I started putting parts in there and now it leaves me guessing as they weren’t marked.  |

I dont think they are original. I dont know of any bolts of that size in black oxide.
