Hey,
(Honest... I have searched here, and there is nothing in the shop manual.)
I removed the bolts that hold the master cylinder to the firewall backing plate in hopes of installing the Astro Van hydroboost unit.
Most of the bolts seems a little tight coming out (including the 2 above the master cylinder bolts that are used with the Astro Van install plate); but, I really didn't think there was a problem.
Trying to reinstall them, they really don't feel right. I am using the same bolts that came out for the install, although I'm not sure exactly which bolt came form which of the 4 holes. I am afraid I might be cross't threading the female portion on the backing plate, although when I remove the bolts afer working them in part way, the bolts show no sign of cross-threading.
Just to make sure the previous owner used the right bolts, can someone tell me what size they should be? I don't want to mess thinngs up any worse than they might already be. (I have PB'd them, used assembly lubricant, worked them slowly in, and then out a little, then in some more. It just doesn't feel right.
Knowing the bolt size will at least let me check that off the list.
Thanks
Jeff
