Default long bolts?

fitted an intake spacer to my sprint on the weekend only to discover that the bolts supplied by trick flow arent quite long enough, 2 are fine, 2 are only just holding in, and 2 are only *just* engaging the threads.....

anyway, does anyone know where i'd be able to find flange head 5/16" bolts that are 7.5", 8" and 8.5" long?

Any bolt place should have them or at least be able to get them in for you but first I'd be contacting the supplier of the kit - they have supplied the wrong parts, put it back on them...

Yup, a real bolt will always look better but the all thread will get you out of the poo in the mean time...
