Hey guys,
I've got a '95 Grand Am that I'm replacing the fuel pump on. The car has 170K miles on it, so the underside of the car is a mess. Everything is rusted, muffler needs changes, you get the idea.
The bolts that hold the fuel tank straps in place are of course horribly rusted. I managed to move them a little bit, and then the little threaded tabs that the bolts thread in to broke. The bolts are still intact but spin freely, it's just those little tab-nuts are completely busted.
As far as I can see my only option is just to drill the bolts out and replace them, but I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the exact bolts, and nuts, that I need. The only one I've found is here, and I don't know if this is correct or not.

Has anyone else had to deal with this, and have any advice or tips?
Thanks!
