Default BBK T/B missing hardware

I recently bought a used BBK 80mm throttle body for my 99 vette. It came with the throttle body spacer, gasket, the throttle body itself and a servo motor. What I'm missing is the three socket bolts and the two spacers for the power steering reservoir. Can I get the socket bolts and spacers in a hardware store or should I call BBK?

I also bought a used BBK TB that was missing the spacers and a gasket. I bought them from BBK. They cost me over $25. You would be better going to a hardware store and getting a couple of bolts and washers for the spacers. You'll save a lot of money. If I had it to do over again that's what I would do.

The spacers are not a problem. I know it's about 3/8 thick and I can use some type of washer for that. The socket bolts is a different story. I don't know how long I should order them. Does anybody know?

I got the bolt length. One is 70mm and two of them are 40mm long. Does anyone know the thread size?

I don't know and my car is in storage right now, but it would be the same thread as a stock bolt since you are still bolting it to the same intake manifold.

Yea, my car is in storage too and I can't get to it at the moment. I figure the thread size is the same as stock, but I wouldn't know until I can get my hands on the actual socket bolts. Besides I'm also replacing the LS1 manifold with a LS6 unit.
