What Size Bolts for Turbo Shield?

[Yankee John]

I have a turbo shield coming from a member and I need to get attaching bolts to install it. What size thread/pitch/length are these bolts?

Im thinking about getting some stainless bolts, or maybe even allen head bolts.

Also, Do I need to use an anti-sieze compound on the threads?

Thanks in advance!

I do believe M8 x 1.25 is correct. Thread length of 1/2" - 3/4" long should work fine. (16-20mm length) The bolts that have the serratations under the head work the best. They tend to cut into the shield just enough to keep the bolts from loosening up. Most Ace Hardware stores carry what you need, as well as have them in chrome or allen head styles. If you go stainless or chrome plated, I would put a small dab of anti seeze on the threads for future removal. 13mm wrench on the head. 1/2" std in a pinch.

McMaster Carr part number 92820A420.
