Plenum extension cover bolt size?

What size bolts do I need for the plenum extension cover/distributor cover? I bought a cover without the hardware, just in case your wondering why I can't match up the stock bolts. I know they are small metric bolts. I tried a few different sizes and did a couple different searches with no luck.
TIA, Nick.

Re: Plenum extension cover bolt size?

Well I bought a tap to chase the threads on mine. Went to look for the tap and the only one I could find around that size was 4mm x 070. The reason I did not post before was that I was not a 100% sure. Seeing as no one else is speaking up I went and posted anyways.

By the way you can by the screws at www.tpiparts.net The plastic cover uses a screw with a bigger head that has a washer shape. The metal one that came on the Corvette uses a standard head. Hope this has been of some help to you.

if it helps,there the exact same size as the screws used to hold the TB plate to the throttle body.

this is what i used on my 88 iroc when i bought the alum vette cover,GM dealership couldnt figure out what size they were.

Re: Plenum extension cover bolt size?

as i said earlier...the screws that hold the tpi plate on the throttle body,are a perfect match for the vette extension.

Glad I found this 9 year old thread. I just ordered a aluminum TPI distributor cover and need to buy the screws for it.

Re: Plenum extension cover bolt size?

If you're going to the hardware store to get them, the plenum extension screws are M4 x 0.7, 10mm long, Button head Torx with a funky captive washer.
