Water pump bolt search

[Scottjeffrey]

Hi. I have recently removed the Behr air conditioning compressor bracket from my 1974 and wish to change the water pump while my radiator is out and while changing hoses. The two bottom bolts are too long and I am trying to locate the ones I need which are shorter and designed for non AC cars. One of them, #10 on the diagram is available but I cannot source #11 having just been told by the third parts supplier that they are not available. They likewise were unable to tell me the bolts size (so I could buy it at the hardware store). Does anyone know what size it is? Would anyone have one for sale? Many thanks,

Scott

Try Maximillian Importing - they have the same diagrams after you type in your VIN and I bought most of my (overpriced :)) bolts here when I could not source things elsewhere. I have a picture somewhere of the bolts when I pulled mine. I will try to locate

This might help.

Get your metric nuts and bolts from Belmetric.com, don’t waste your time with aftermarket or dealer prices.

Tried Maximillion, Randy. No go. Looks like Belmetric is next. Thank you Chris and Hl as well!

Just ordered it all from Belmetric along with my AC Hobie bracket needs and an Alternator bolt and nut as well. All for only $21 plus shipping. Wow! Chris I owe you lunch!

All for only $21

 

Yup, that would have been Max shipping :)

Belmetric shipping was $7.99. Not too shabby!

A local fastener store can often supply these; bigger stores may sell by the bolt.

Few fastener stores have the gold metric bits, at least here in the US.  Belmetric is a small family run business too.

This popped up in my feed- timely as I’m doing the same thing on my tii (Behr/York) removal. The Behr bracket is 16mm thick where it is secured to the bottom two long water pump bolts.  Why doesn’t the USA 2002tii diagram show M8x90 bolts?  The long bolts run thru the water pump housing, thru the lower timing cover and into the block. Shorter bolts won’t work.
