Exhaust Manifold Bolts

I recently had my whole 3" exhaust system ripped out from under my car by an "unmarked" raised manhole cover. So I have been doing some much needed maintance, and I notice my manifold bolts look a little worse for wear, so I checked their torque an noticed they were all loose, and completely trashed (rusty, stretched and just plain garbage). SO I ventured out to get new ones only to find I cant seem to find anything.

Does anybody know what size they are or where I can get a set?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure they are obsolete. You would either have to get a used set or find new fastners. They are M10 x 57.0 (no stud) and M10 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 81.0 w/ stud

If you have the size, go to a Dorman supplier and they can match you up. I had the same problem with trying to get them from Ford (they didn't even have a picture of a Turbo motor). The only problem you will run into is duplication of the bolts that have the threaded tops (intercooler bracket holder bolt, etc.) If your's are wasted you might want to go to the Parts Needed Section and ask for help.
