I think mr. gasket sells a universal package with 2 different sizes. One of the sets is correct.

Yes I'm hoping to find out the inspection cover bolts. Are they sheet metal type or 10mm caps?

The inspection cover uses 4 metal screws about 1" long with a 10mm hex head.

Do they have sheet metal type threads or a machine thread?

Good question. Mine are so stripped out I'm surprised it hasn't fallen off lol

On my older car I tapped 1/4-20 threads but it was not a fun task. My newer car was missing the cover all together. I got a new cover and thought some pre-knowledge would get 'er installed quicker.

Not machined threads, sheet metal type.

Ok cool thanks for the heads up. I'll get a variety before getting under there
