Im in Trouble

Hey guys.

I pulled my block 3 weeks ago in my garage with all
my engine compenents in a organized state.

well overnight, someone broke into my garage and stole my tool box which also had all my runner-to-plenum bolts and my Throttle Body plate w/ all thoses tiny bolts.

I know I can get one for 50 bucks or so..
Does anyone have one lying around in rough shape??
I can bead blast it ..

if not .. then obviously im forced to buy one..

thanks fellas

I don't know about you, but I've got a couple of hardware stores close by that I can go and get replacements for that, the runner bolts wouldn't be Torx, GOOD, but they do have all that stuff. I'm betting $10 would buy it.

Grind the logo off that one and it'll do fine.
