Plenum bolt broke !!

On the passenger side one of the runner to plenum bolts there is one that is not a torx bolt but rather a bolt with a stud sticking out which has a little plastic "loom" slips onto (for the 3 cables coming off the cable brackets on the plenum). Sorry if this is confusing but this "stud" broke off .... the bolt itself is okay, but now I canīt attach the plastic loom for the cables anymore.... any ideas on what to do now ... best thing would be if there would be a spec. part no. for that bolt

thanks a lot

It's not too important... I wouldnt let it keep you up at night. But if you'd like you can go to your GM dealor and look at an assembly diagram. You should be able to pick your bolt out in an instant, find the corresponding part number, and have it at your house within a week for a couple bucks.

Get the matching torx bolt (like the other runner bolts) and forget about the stud / clip / aspect of it.

He said the bolt part of the stud was fine.
