being a numb-nuts I've managed to lose 3 bolts from the hose that attaches to the air filter - there's one left but it's a royal PITA to get to. It's a 1999 2.8 v6 4Motion - anyone know where I can get replacement ones or the specs for the bolts?

Hopefully the pics show what I mean clearly enough -

  • the whole engine bay so that you can see where I mean
  • close-up of the missing bolts

Update: called the stealership - they couldn't get them in but very kindly gave me the spec and I bought some from a local hardware store ($8 for a pack of 10 stainless steel). The bolts to use are M6x16mm.

guess what I found in the garage today ... yep, three black M6x16mm bolts: spent the last couple of hours wondering where they heck they came from / were for until I logged in here to check another thread and saw this one again!!!

I'm getting a bit forgetful with old age!!!   ::)
