      Nope, don't have it, cause I can't drive the car without the throttle plate screws in... LOL..

      And that doesn't help, I need the thread size... LOL

        I'm not positive, but they look like an M5, thread pitch though I have no clue. I just know they're smaller than an M6.

          Hmm. M5? That's only 3 sizes smaller than the upper intake bolts... The threads on these are TINY... hmm.

            3.5 I think. I couldn't find them anywhere unless I wanted 10,000 of them or some bs.

              You don't have a local fastner supplier? Here we have a place called Broward Bolt and they have millions of sizes/materials and that's all they deal in (they even have reverse threads). Most cities have a place like that, there was an Allied Fastener when I lived on the west coast of FL. They both will sell 1 or 10,000.

                  Hmm. Might check FastenAll then. Guess it's not common.

                      My bolt sizing brain isn't worth a shit, I may have been thinking M4 but that's not what I posted. Just disregard my comments for the day.

                        19cutlass94, Thanks but I need new different bolts that are flat and not tapered on the back side. I may not end up needing them anyways but I'd still like to find out what it is in case I do.

                          3.1/2.8 MPFI Throttle bodies have the shaft already halved from the factory.... This I did not know!!

                          I got a free 2.8 TB last night and noticed that. I will be taking out the bolts out of it hopefully it's the same thread as the 3x00's ones. These I can use since they are flat on the back side instead of tapered.

                            If its M4 it would be M4X0.75 that is most common thread pitch for M4 fasteners.
