Question: Bolt, bracket

[scotch1]

Hi everyone.
Merry and a Happy to one and all.
I have a question.
Where can I find a bracket bolt for my hard top convertible?
Its a small 'Torx' head bolt 8 mm x 1.25 that attaches the pillar bracket to the hard top and body.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Tom.

Unless you are anal about having OEM parts you can find bolts at any fastener specialty store, like Fastenal. I purchased large allen head stainless bolts for mine and they work just fine. I did paint them flat black to match interior. I do not remember size, take your bracket with you and they can match threads.

Hi .
Thanks everyone for your input.
I just wanted all the bolts to match, especially with the Torx head, so I wouldn't have to work with two different wrenches.
The service/parts dept. at two different dealerships both said that the part was discontinued, and none were available, 'Pep Boys' didn't have anything like it either.. I called around and will next seek out some Corvette recycling yards.

Corvette Central lists the bolts Part# 434031 @ 7.50 per pair. You will also need washers for them. Hope that helps.

Mike .
Thanks, for the help, and info!
I ordered the part from Corvette Central. 7 Dollars for two not bad, of course the shipping and handling cost 8 dollars.
But who's complaining.
I'll have my matching screws soon.
Have a Happy New Year!
Tom.
