ok, so i have this thing, but it's not actually on my car yet. i've been meaning to install it, but, alas, i am lazy, well not really, i didnt/dont have a place/tools/know-how to do it...
SO, it's been sitting in the back seat of my car for a while now, and i'm sorta tired of listening to it rattle so i've decided to just go ahead and put it in, but, i cant. it's been sitting in the car so long, that i've managed to lose one of the bolts for it. who knows where? maybe carwash guy vacuum'd it up, or it decided to take a short vacation and got lost, it doest matter, it's gone.

by any chance would the stock bolts work, or does anyone happen to have a bolt that may work? tia and shit.

Depends on which bolt you lost.

Did you lose the one that holds the mount together at the bushing or one of the other ones?

Technically you're not supposed to reuse the bolts that mount it to the car because they are stretch bolts but you shouldn't have any problems.

it's one that goes to the engine i guess. there's two of the same size, and then one that has a washer. i lost one of the twins.

Actually I dont think the stock bolts will work after all. The ones that come with the mount are different.

Also, the two bolts go into the subframe. There is only one vertical bolt on the engine side.

So take the twin to the aprts store and say "I need another one of these"
