Does anyone know what size the bolts are for the differential exhaust pipe heat shield? It was missing from the car when I got it. I got a used one on eBay. Looks like there are two bolts that go into the strut rod bracket and the other side of the shield hooks over the edge of the leaf spring bolt plate.

They are just hex head sheet metal screws like a size #10 if I recall correctly.

The ones on my 79 were ”e” head marked 5-16-18 thread bolts but I cannot remember the length off the top of my head. They have a tapered tip and I picked up replacements at paragon.

I should have some of those bolts in my misc. parts bag. Thanks

I would have to agree on this. I do not recall these screws being machine screws....but I guess whatever works is also good.
