I need 4, mcmaster wants me to buy a bag of 10. I don't need 10 and I don't want 10. I need 4.

56f100bbw said in an old post they are 8mmx1.25 thread x 3 3/4 long.

Any help?

Explorer AC compressor bolts, right?
8mm is correct, I can't verify the pitch. I just measured 4 3/4" long.
If explorer, do you have the alignment dowels that the bolts pass through?

I got mine from McMaster and they are 5:

Just keep em in your cart until you need more stuff.

I've been ordering like crazy from them and have been so happy

I think I have a set of those bolts at home in my collection - and they're still nice and shiny gold, etc. I'll try and check tonight. You can have them for the cost of shipping if I do as I'll never use them...

they used the same bolts on ranger AC units and many other 90s fords. Stroll through the junkyard with a 10mm socket and get yourself a few.

I have some as well, maybe more of them have the small stud on top. But you could cut that off. Not gold and shiny like Todd is describing, but functionable
If he doesn't have them, then I will make the same offer...

Even had them in a cute labeled Ziploc bag and everything :). PM me your address and I'll get them out to you.

I’ve been told I have some loose screws, but never loose bolts. Lol
