D'oh! Intake spacer problems...

M'kay well I recieved my TrickFlow intake spacer but it came with the wrong bolts!

Can I just go to Home Depot with my OE bolts and find some that are the same just longer?

Any input is appreciated.

Yes, I had the same problem with my 1" Trick flow plenum spacer. I just went out and bought some (all thread+long) grade 5 bolts and cut the bolt heads off and used them as studs.

I had same problem and went to autozone, also grabbing grade 5 bolts, 2" long same thread. I didn't use them as studs, but used the two studs that came with the kit.

The included bolts are some soft Grade 3's! Anyway...looks like a trip to a hardware store is in order. Just all bolts need to be 1" longer?
