Curvie, good idea on the anti-seize. Wish I thunk of that. I tend to over think things sometimes.

Geoff, I'll try Tacoma Screw...again....but talk with someone who gives a shit......long story. I think they have them in the M10x1.0 50mm. Lowes didn't have them in the correct 1.0 thread pitch. That's a bugger pitch.

Well I struck out at Tacoma Screw. Another local place had them in 70mm length that I could cut down, but they were VERY expensive!! $7.23 each. It's starting to look like a hex head bolt..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Curvie, let me know if you find them in the socket head (allen) style.

Rusty,

Make friends with someone in Santa Monica, they have a killer little hardware store I can't remember the name but they are next to a Nissan dealer.

This place has everything metric & sae even in stainless.

I used to go there for funky stuff for my boat (that I lived on) and for the motor mount in my -6 conversion.

I'd go for ya, but I'm a little too far east now.

Eric,
On saturday I'm going to a local hardware store by my house. They specialize in rare hard to find fasteners. I used to go there when I raced karts and I was almost always able to get what I was looking for. And I was sometimes looking for stuff far more rare, i'm sure, than metric allen head bolts. If they have 'em I'll buy as many sets of 4 that I can and let you know either way. Once they didn't have what I was looking for. I asked the guy where to go to get what I wanted. He said, "If we don't have 'em, you can't get 'em"

For metric fasteners, check with your local Caterpillar Tractor dealer. I am told they are one of the largest users of metric fasteners in the world.

OK I got the fasteners (almost). They're 10mm 1.0 pitch socket cap (allen wrench) bolts of 50 mm length. The hardware store didn't have 'em in stock but could get them for me. I had them order 16 for me so I can plug my injector holes and supply 3 other cars with them. They are costing me $1.40 ea. I could probably send them to you for about $10.00 total or less depending on how much it costs to ship them to you. Anyone interested let me know. RustyWa, I'll hold a set for you.
Hey I'm now in the triple digits in posts here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I still hadn't heard from the hardware store so I called today. They said they had no record of my order for the bolts (perhaps they're affiliated with a company in Marrieta, GA). Anyways I ordered them again. Now they're $3.28 a piece. The $1.40 was for hex head bolts, apparently. Because of the higher price, I only ordered 12. Enough for my car and 2 others if anyone is interested. I'll save a set for you, RustyWA, if you still want 'em. I'll let you know when I get 'em.

I almost sent you an e-mail yesterday asking about an update... Yea I will still take a set. Just let me know when you get them and verify that they are the correct length and pitch. I'll send you some $$ by check or Paypal, whichever you prefer.

Thanks.

Hey guys,

If this fails to come through let me know. I have a buddy in the Fastener industry. They usually do commercial sales, but who knows.

We're playing cards together on the 28th, so I'll ask him then.

Hey Mike,

On my 76 2.0, I was concerned that I would damage the threads if I pulled the smog tubes. I ended up just getting some nice brass caps at my local FLAPS. Those, and a bit of teflon tape, and they were very, very snug and air tight.

Thanks again.

Here are the socket head bolts installed. As you can see in the photo, there is not much room between the bolt head and the gasket.

Thanks Curvie!
