WTD: Pinto cambelt cover bolts
If my Pinto ever had them I've managed to lose the special bolts that hold the cambelt cover on.
Has anyone got theirs kicking around somewhere that they'd like rid of?
I *think* there's 3 or 4 of them (or certainly the cover has 4 bolt holes). 2 go just beneath the cam pulley, 1 goes down low near the sump.
There's another (I think!) up above-left the crank pulley.
I tried replicating with a piece of threaded bar and lock nuts but it was ridiculously hard to get the cover on! 
Anyone?
Cheers,
James

If you get stuck you may be able to use normal bolts with a small spacer ton replicate the shoulder

I will have some amongst my bits, but can you remember exactly what they look like? I think M6 with an inbuilt washer, and where they blue ones??

3, the fourth bolt just goes into a threaded hole on the block/lower cover.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

I only need 1! :)
Went to the garage this eve. Spent ages hunting through old biscuit tins of bolts etc.
Found the lower left 'bolt' and one of the top ones.
That just leaves one of the top ones, as JGG says, the lower right is a normal bolt.
Cheers,
James
