Does anyone know where I can get the intake bolts for a 1995 NA 850 I cant find them anywhere? Or am I going to have to go to the hardware store and dig around? Any advice is greatly appreciated thanks everyone.

Hardware store it is! They're a pain to find even there. Try Lowes - Home Depot didn't have anything.

They're M7 hex head bolts. I got those and a few washers to put behind them to use as spacers in between the bolt head and intake manifold.

I always like to go to the local boneyards if time permits. Usually get what I need for cheap, especially if it is a "pull your own parts" yard, plus other odds and ends I have been meaning to get ( that you will never find at Lowes

)

Yea that's what I figured. I chipped my intake gasket putting the intake back on! Yikes thanks for the advice on that Jblackburn. I figured I had really messed something up the way it was running. I don't want to take the chance of striping those threads out since those are such fine thread bolts. But luckily I have a pretty awesome hardware store up town that has THOUSANDS of nuts and bolts in different sizes and hardness classifications to chose from. Plus tons of other stuff I could spend thousands of dollars on ( if I had it) that I would never use LOL. Thanks for the advice guys!
