Fuel pump cover question....

I had to take my fuel pump cover off and sadly the bolts were rounded b4 i even got to them. My question is where i could find these tiny bolts? i dont just want to get a cover because i have dual walbros and i dont feel like redoing all the wiring and such...

Any hardware store should sell socket head metric cap screws.
Allen keys > screwdrivers

Aaron Cake(forum member) had something on this.if you Grind the Screw down,and get the cover off,there should be enough to get at with a set of Vice Grips.You can always try to Make Tiny Slots in them with a Dremel,and use a flathead screwdriver,But it is the Fuel tank area..So be Real careful.

I replaced mine with hex head bolts. I brought the bolts in Autozone, on the hardware area. I think you can find on an hardware store, Pep Boys, Advance Auto, etc.
