Default HELP!!! Throttle Body Question

I need to find out the SIZE of the 6 screws that hold the cover plate on the throttle body. I know they are a torx 20 head, but what is the thread size/length? Can't get a new set until next week thru the dealership, and I need a set fast. Can anyone help?

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I replaced mine several months back but I can't remember the size. I do remember that they're not a weird thread diameter like the TPS screws. Get some nice stainless buttonhead allen bolts at the hardware store.

You should be able to find those screws at any hardware or fastener shop. Avoid the dealership like the plague unless you've got money to throw away!!! I replaced my screws, but I'd have to check the size. :confused:

A friend of mine couldn't get the size from the dealer but ended buying the complete TB hardware kit, it includes all 6 screws. P/N: 1711-3076 ($14.93)
