Oil Filler Neck Bolts?
Anyone know what kind of bolts were originally used to attach the oil filler neck? Those are some mighty big holes, seems like they must have been some kind of shoulder bolts...

Thanks...

M6 1.0, any bolt that comes of your car with a 10mm socket/wrench will work.

The original bolts are typical 10mm bolts, but they have a large built-in washer to cover that large opening. I'm sure you can find a pair of them used very cheaply.

These bolts deffinately had a decent sized flange on them. I used the original bolts with the aluminum filler neck bought in the group buy.

Thanks for the help...

Never let it be said that I can't make something more difficult than it actually is.

How about stainless steel shoulder washers...

That will work.

I'd offer you my bolts but they look a bit stretched and probably not worthwhile to re-use.
