I had to destroy that bolt in order to get the thermostat out, so now I am tasked with replacing that bolt. Do I need to get a certain alloy bolt? The thermostat housings (upper and lower) are both made of aluminum, so I think steel bolts would be a bad idea... is brass okay? is there a special bolt you're supposed to get for this purpose? If so, is there a substitute I might be able to find without going to the dealer? (perhaps from a specialty fasteners dealer, etc?) -- 1998 V70 AWD Turbo 180k+ Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
