Just use a thread pitch gauge and find out what metric pitch they are and go to Home Depot and get stainless allen screws of the same diameter and pitch. The ones GM used on the TB were cheap aluminum screws, I always seem to strip one or both out.

As I understand, the bolt size is M4.5x.75.

Can anyone confirm this?

My holes are stripped out and I would like to know for sure before ordering this very unusual (expensive?) size tap. Is it even worth using original?

Is this a test??? If the holes are stripped, re-tap them for whatever tap and/or screws you have in hand. I guarantee it won't cost you any points in going for the Bloomington Gold.

RACE ON!!!
