98 Sunfire - Broken Bolt.. NEED HELP!!

[sunfire_92]

Ok so, long story short. i was swapping out the motor and decided to drop down the sub frame and everything out the bottom and ended up breaking one of the bolts . how can i find new ones? the dealership doesnt even have them. i called a couple parts stores and they dont have them. so what should i do now? i think i'm gonna try to get all new ones but i need to know the size. can anybody help me? i'm gonna try to do it with the other 3 that i have, hopefully that'll work. i would really appreciate it if anybody could help out with this..

thanks,
Alden.

If you have the bolts, why do you need someone to tell you the size. Measure the diameter of the threaded end of the bolt and the shaft length. Then count the number of threads per inch or millimeter.

well i could get the bolts today if someone could tell me. otherwise i gotta wait till i can get somebody to mail them to me cuz my car is about an hour and a half away from me..

cannt the person who would mail them to you measure them instead?

well i got the bolts but now i have another problem.. they have "Pilot Tips". will it make any difference if i get regular bolts to put in there??

the pilot tips are there only to guide in alignment of the holes, if the holes are aligned you can use a regualr bolt
