TPS Replacement Screws!

I've noticed that a lot of people have issues with the original TPS mounting screws, and once they strip out they can be a PITA to find replacements sometimes.

Well I was matching up some bolts for my engine rebuild today, and I stumbled upon something rather interesting that I'd like to share with all of YotaTech



for under $2 at Advance Auto Parts, Help item # 49820!






they're just a hair shorter, but they work PERFECT!










Hope that it'll help someone out!

Good find and thanks for posting.

I have been using Torx head M4's with a cusp washer, but the hex head might be a better way to go.

Yeah I bought those allen head bolts at the hardware store for under $3 but probably wouldn't have without 4Crawlers helpful info.
