Lower Throttle Body Torx Head Screws

[EOLIVER]

Hello everybody. Today I completed a throttle body cleaning on my 87 coupe, but whiile breaking ltrying to break loose two of the bottom torx screws, i snapped the heads off. Does anyone know where I can purchase replacements or can suggest an alternative screw?

That is not an uncommon malady; it's a troublesome quirk when working with aluminum parts, or rather, disimilar metals, that is, aluminum and steel (or iron).

I have it lucky in that I've got a hardware store nearby where just about any bolt, nut or screw can be found. However, the aftermarket manufacturers/suppliers such as Mid America Designs have replacement bolts.

Thanks a bunch.
