THDP 3" downpipe hex type bolts needed

[RatFink]

I need 4 new bolts to reinstall my THDP. They are the unusual hex type bolts to bolt the turbine housing to the downpipe. Pictured below. Does anyone know a vendor that can get me 4 of them? thanks

Just take a stock bolt to a hardware store, match up the threads and the size of the bolt and then just find the hex version of the same size and pitch. Ace Hardware is where I normally go, they have a nice selection.

Thanks, I posted this on the buick turbo forum as well, Tom H and RUQWKNF
JEDI KNIGHT replied with exaclty what I needed. I also could order the exact part from a website. I love not having to go anywhere for parts.
I live downtown Nashville and it's a hassle to get to anything without dealing with traffic. Everyone may also find the following web-site helpful if your looking for specific or special type bolts. :thumbup:

McMaster Car also sells the Nice Strong T-Bolt Clamps. Awsome prices too.
