I need a longer bolt to get running again.

1-4-1 Air Induction System-Part #:102286 SCREW M7

I waited 5 days and 12 bucks shipping and the bolt is to short. Its the one center on the W pipe that goes through and threads into the butterfly assembly. The last one fell out causing all kinds of mayhem. I can hold the W pipe flush and pull the Butterfly assy and tight as they will mate "even without the plastic and rubber o ring" and the bolt just falls into the hole.
I took the W pipe off and checked the threads on the butterfly/assy and it might take 2or 3 turns but the bolt catches and threads down into it.

The entire bolt is 75 mm long with only approx 22-23 threaded. I need at least another 5mm. even a little longer that 80 would be ok cause i can always add more washers.

Where can I begin my search to find one? Any local chains might have such a thing? Thanks

M7 bolts are hard to find and bolts longer than 70 mm are also hard to find. Put both requirements together and I don't think you will get one. I hope someone finds a source but you may need to go to an M8 bolt.

Here's a couple sources for an m7x100mm bolt:

Wow Thanks! One is $1.28 and the other 5 bucks

Before I knee jerk and quickly order I am going to wait and see what others might say. Nobody else has had this issue?

When I had K-Jet, I had a similar issue, and I went to an M8 bolt.

Can't order from DMCMW? They have pretty much everything.

I was pretty much in the same boat last year. After a complete rebuild, that stupid M7 bolt was the ONLY bolt somehow managed to lose! I searched all over Boise trying to source a replacement. I could not even get a thread stock of redi-rod through Grainger to make my own. Ultimately, I had Toby overnight me one from DMCNW. At $19 that now is the single most expensive bolt on my engine...LOL.

Like Dave and Mike mention, you might just want to tap out the butterfly housing to accept an M8 bolt. I chose not to go down that path only because I was on a time crunch, otherwise I would have tapped mine out. I feel your pain. Good luck with it!

I get most of my bolts from boltdepot.com a link to 7mm https://www.boltdepot.com/Metric_tap...m_x_1.0mm.aspx

Those on bolt depo only go to 50mm unless I am missing something. I think the next length is 100mm which is what I need.
