Stupid question....threads for strut tower brace
Stupid question. I bought a GM strut tower brace and my local shop managed to lose the hardware/bolts.
Can I just buy some replacement bolts at a local hardware store or should I try to locate some that are part of a GM part kit? |

Bolts are bolts, provided you get the same size, grade and thread pitch. Look at it as an opportunity to get better quality for less.

Bolts at the hardware are pretty cheap.....buy a couple with different thread abd see what works. Good old fashioned American R&D.

Or for a couple of bucks get a thread pitch gauge and now you have the tool that will tell you.

I run 2 catch cans...

I think they're M8x35. Stainless wasn't cheap at about $17.
