    Somehow, I dropped two (2) of these damn bolts into a "black hole" that exists in and under the engine bay.... I did not hear them hit the floor, and I cannot see/ feel them anywhere under or around the engine...

    IF someone has 2 spare, chrome "long" ones, please let me know...

    Brett was kind enough to get me three (3) regular painted bolts for the time being...

    If I could only flip the car over and shake it... I am sure they would fall out.. LOL

    There are nice reproductions available if you don't find any OEM pcs . . . You can purchase them individually or as a Set.

    Just be careful if you purchase them elsewhere as there are some on the market that have SAE Threads but require a 10 mm Socket.

    I stock the "correct" ones. :)

    I just checked my stash and I do have 3 or 4 of them. (OEM) But as with most of them from 50+ years ago they're going to be a tad rusty.

    I do have some though.

    I have a drawer full of OEM Engine Hardware . . .

    I once found one of my hammers wedged between the engine and frame (not on my GS). It was there so long that I did not remember losing it.o_O

    You gotta check on top of the motor mount, like between the mount and engine block...
