7mm thermostat cover bolts
Any of you guys have a source for these bolts ?They are 7mm x 60 mm 1mm thread pitch.Even though Canada is supposed to be a "metric"country all the fastener suppliers I have contacted act as if I'm an alien ! (maybe I am ?).Seems that they only recognize 6mm or 8mm. 7mm is not available.These are the three bolts that go through the thermostat top housing into the base.

part 14 ref:13579371 price each 0.25€=>0.2$ but solded only in package of 50 !!!!!
well.....its in yur side now...
eventually..........you can drill a 7.2mm and rethread for m8.
looks like there is enough room to do this.
alfa its boring with these kind of numberous conditionning.
if for a fucking washer i can agree they cant sold them one by one.

Murray,drill and tap to the closest size available to you -metric or imperial.Alternatively put in a Helicoil and go m6......
French cars are shit and shit expensive to service and bloody awful and unreliable and expensive and friends don't let friends drive french cars and you wait years for parts.
