Discovery 1 - Thermostat housing Bolt Size

[Big Eck]

Folks - trying to find the correct replacement bolts to re-fit the thermostat housing onto the inlet manifold for my 1995 Land Rover Discovery 1 3.9 V8. I believe it is “FS505077 - SCREW-FLANGED HEAD 5/16UNC X 7/8” (got that from LRCat) which seems to be No Longer Available.

Can somdone confirm the part number/bolt size above is the correct one. Also, can I just go to the hardware store and pick up some bolts in this size? Nothing special I need to think about?

Thanks,

Keith.

I took one of the bolts to the hardware and matched it up. Alas, I don’t recall its exact size, but a good hardware store is the way to go.

While it doesn't say it directly in the Disco section, it does refer to the size in the other categories (e.g. Defender, all years):

10		Screw-flanged head
5/16UNC x 7/8
