Does anyone know the size of the bolts that hold the gasket on the fuel sending unit I went to the dealer and they wanted $7.50 for one I tried the local parts store and they couldn't ,match them up . these are the bolts on the gasket itself not the cover that is over the sending unit . Thanks My car is the 2.5 engine

I went to two hardware stores and two auto part stores no one has the correct bolt ,the bolt itself has a the threads at the bottom with about 4 or 5 threads showing and then it has a barrel type covering on the rest of the threads I think it is made that way so that the gas doesn't leak past the bolts
Thanks I will see if i can get the subaru part number I work for autozone maybe i can get the cross reference number with the oem number I know it isn't a stocked item
the part number they have does not look like the flange bolt that is in my subaru
42058*A FLANGE BOLT . NO.1 These are the bolts that hold the fuel pump and sending unit underneath the cover for the fuel pump thanks the one on the subaru site ar not the right ones mine have a barrel type fitting
