Need a Bolt
I installed a set of STP Intake Manifold Runners on my 86. I bought a set of the stainless socket cap bolts that were sold on the Forum 6 or 7 months ago to dress the installation up a little. Well the longer bolts in that set were too short for the runners. I ordered some 8mmx1.25x75mm, which was the longest they had. But they are about a quarter inch shorter than the bolts that came with the runners. All worked but one, someone had stripped the top of the hole in the intake and it will not grab. Need a stainless socket cap bolt 8mmx1.25x80 or 85mm. Any help will be highly appreciated. I have the steel bolt that came with the runners in the hole now, it works, but doesn't go with the polished stainless. I've called a few bolt companies and no one seems to have that length. If you know of a sourse let me know.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Hi Lonestar, Have you tried a company called Fastenal? Don't know if they're in your part of the country or not but if not let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. Also, did you consider a helicoil?
