Hi all,
so yesterday I fitted a new timing belt on my GP 2007 1.2l. It was all going well until I was bolting the rocker cover back on to the engine head and then one of the screws snapped. I've been desperately searching everywhere for replacement bolts but can't seem to find them anywhere (AGHH!).
anyone know where I can get some replacements??
Cheers in advance :)!
 
Hi (who ?) and welcome on board !

here's what I could find about the tappet cover bolts: M6 x 45, no clue about the strength but the torque being quite small, I'd bet for standard (8:8) steel bolts, the head shape is not important here, in case the genuine bolt has an enlarged base, you might just add a flat and a sping washer AND respect the tightening torque !!

BRs, Bernie
