Hey, DML!

Need some info...Anybody know the thread pitch & length of the bolts at
manifold/exhaust pipe flange?
The DAKSY started to roar this AM & I shut er down to attend to other
things...like finishing the siding on the
A-frame ...NO MORE 40 FT LADDER!
As everybody who's been here a while knows, my attempts at flight have
yielded disastrous results!
Anyhoo, a bud & myself took a peek underneath & there were the remains of
one of the bolts & one is MIA...
the remaining one is so MAHTZOED that I can't even SEE a thread no less use
a pitch gage on it.
We managed to locate a coupla substitutes, but if I can get the correct
grade - without traveling to CPDW to the parts dept., I feel much better.
The remaining bolt DID manage to keep the donut in place.
This is all on the left side - above the oil filter...if the right side
bolts are the same, I might as well replace them, too, before they disappear
& take the donut on THAT side with em...
TIA!
