I am feeling stupid. I had to replace the coolant thermostat. When removing the housing on of the bolts broke. I am trying to find a replacement bolt but I cannot seem to find a parts diagram with the bolts shown. I can search for engine cooling thermostat housing bolt and I get responses. But I am unsure. I don't want to order the wrong bolt and then have to wait longer to order a different one.

Why not use one of the good ones to find a match at the hardware store?

Do you have a salvage yard in your area.
Exactly. The replacement bolt does not have to be an exact match. Correct length, bolt gauge, correct thread and pitch and if the existing bolt has the washer as part of the bolt head, just get a washer and slide it on. Can even put a lock washer between head and flat washer. Get two of everything, if you want it to match.
Or take the correct intact bolt to the dealer and they can match for you.
Feeling stupid may have to do with not supplying ANY vehicle and engine info.
