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
