Bolt Missing, Anyone know the size?

Hey guys, hoping someong might be so kind as to remove a bolt on their GTP and measure it size/threads/lengh so I can buy one from a hardware store.

Replaced the valve cover gaskets one day and while I was putting things back together, dropped this bolt. It didnt hit the ground and I was getting close to being late for work so I had to finish up and go.

Its the bolt that bolts together the EGR heat shield to the MAP bracket. I attached a picture, but you guys might not be able to really see anything.

I've been driving with it like this for a while because I dont think its hurting anything. Just want everything complete.

Thanks for any info guys!

Anyone?

Looks like it might be 1/4" or mabe smaller, maybe? Just a educated guess. What is the bolt for and I can take it off my car and take a measurement. Boy do I feel dumb if I would have read the complete post I would have found out the location. Is that the front side or is it the back side.

Thank you so much!

It will be a metric bolt. The head size was 10MM I believe. Its between the EGR valve and MAP sensor.

I will do it this weekend, when I do not have to work or Doctor's appointments had one today and two tomorrow.

Thanks so much! Take your time! Good luck at the Appointments...

The size is either 5mm or 6mm dia length is about 10 mm, used a caliper digital. You were right it is a 10mm head size. Sorry that I did not get to sooner I have been in the hospital. Got out Thursday. More lower back problems, have to wear a back brace now.

Be sure to get a flanged head bolt, otherwise you will need a washer that will be dropped next time you remove it!!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help!

Nice Sig HotZ28! Looks familiar. Do we have pretty much the same cars?

That is one thing that I forgot to mention about the bolt. I would get one if possible where the flange has ridges that work like lock washer.

Tblake,

Did you get the bolt for your car that you dropped.

Nope, not yet. Next time i'm at the hardware store I'll pick one up. Thanks for the help though.

Was just wondering. Thanks for the update.
