Help - PS Pump Bracket to Block Bolts Size.
Ok I'm trying to put powersteering on my 84 thats never had PS before. Bought trailgear's kit, and I've ran into a problem.
Instructions tell you to reuse the 3 old pump bracket bolts, but mine has never had a powersteering pump or bracket to begin with! I've dug through my bolt bin, and can't find anything that'll fit. Toyota dealership is backordered for 10 days, and their computers dont say what size they are. Trail gear doesnt know either....
Anyone here have the faintest idea?

it's metric 
But seriously, just see if you can pull off a bolt from something else on the truck that will thread into the hole, then just bring that bolt up to the parts store and get a match!

If your truck is not currently equipped with power steering, you will need to purchase the idler bracket and replace the steering gear box with one designed for use with power steering.
If you don't have the idler bracket you need to get it, so just get the bolts with it.
