    Default Nuts 'n bolts

    Alright, so ive got a 253 cui engine.. Couple of months ago.. I pulled off my Waterpump, and pretty much everything on the front end of the engine accept the pulley thing..
    Now.. Ive lost a couple of bolts and one snapped while I was taking it out..

    So im going to replace the waterpump, and put the engine back together..

    But where would be the best place to get the bolts? Ive looked on ebay and gumtree and rare spares... Didnt seem to have anything?

    Would repco/supercheap or even holdens supply them? if not.. Where could I get some?

    Any help will be appreciated..

    economy bolts or something similar. just take a sample bolt and they will match it

    There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.

    But if you've snapped one off inside the timing cover then you'll need to get that off before you go anyfurther

    Half of the problem is.. I dont know if I need the same sized bolt all around... Ive got a air con bracket that holds on from the pump aswell. :\

    Would the 'how to rebuild a v8' book, show me what bolts and what not go where?

    Half the bolt is still sticking out so should be easy enough to get out..
