so im just finishing up my tii swap, was in pieces when i got it so ive had to buy lots of random things. but i went to stick the uim on and realized i only had the 4 nuts that hold it on and not the bolt. so i searched and searched and searched around town and couldnt find a bolt to save my live. its a M8X1.25X140mm i think. might be X130mm. but does anyone know of a place where i can purchase one that long? its kinda irritating

 

Mazda still stocks a lot of this kind of odder sized hardware. It will probably cost $3, but it's one option. I broke one of the long air pump bracket bolts a year or two ago and I got a new one from Mazda for a few bucks.

The other is to look for a local metric fastener specialty shop. I used to live near one in Pittsburgh and they had pretty much everything.

 

oh shitty. i happen to live like 90 miles from like each of those:/ i was kinda hoping either someone would chime in and say they had one or send me to a website.

You might google maps "fastener" or "bolt" in your local area. For example here we have Austin Bolt Company that has a lot of fasteners you can buy in singles or the box.

Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda is great for buying OEM parts from. Super helpful and he'll give you a discount and of course ship it to you. 888 533 3400

 

+1 for ray crowe.

Just as an FYI, Himni racing has nut and bolt kits for TII that are full stainless, upper intake manifold kit is $16 and lower kit is $13 and they have a full engine kit for $78.

oh **** man, sick!! deff gunna look into that man

 

I was doing an Fd upper conversion and the "long bolt" wouldn't reach with the spacer on.
Solution:get an idea of what length you need and Drive to Napa.Buy a 70 mm bolt and Voila!.Done!
I buy treaded rods that are Metric.So If I need something that is "uncommon" I make one up!
