Aluminum belly pan

Does anyone happen to know the dimensions of the bolts? Somehow they disappeared from my shelf so I need to get a set now, thanks.

Yeah that's what I meant. What about the length of it though or doesn't matter?

Doesn't matter for the most part, but go with 1.5 inches with a good sized washer for it.

and, do you have an aluminum underbelly pan?

Yeah I do. I took it off awhile ago to find some leaks and my bolts either got swiped or thrown in the trash, no idea. Leaks finally fixed so I wanted to put it back on.

1.5 inches is way to long..the factory ones are like half inch...but you could get away with inch. 1.5 is pushing it

That's why I said with nice washers. I use 2 of them and that's a .25 inch taken off and some of the bolts almost fall out when I take them off with 1" bolts in mine. His pan is aluminum and will be thicker than the plastic one and with a good washer it will take another 1/8 inch off the bolt. I know the bolts I use at an inch are hard to got started with a socket because they sink down into the socket.

Just to make sure, I was referring to the aluminum plate that covers the oil pan that was part of the aero kit. Since you mentioned something about plastic I got a little confused.

Those are real hard to find. Most are made of plastic. Don't sell it til you're flat broke.

Seriously, they are bolts. M6, about an inch long. It's not critical. You could probably use 2 or three inch bolts in many of the holes. These bolts are used all over the car, hundreds of them.
