lol it's not a smartass reply it's the truth. Might have luck finding VC bolts at your local autoparts store too.

yeah kind of is when you speak the obvious...

 

[jordan00711]

well if you have another bolt laying around just take it to a hardware store and ask for an identical or close to identical bolt? or go to a pick and pull and grab some there

Obvious question gets an obvious answer. What better place to get parts for a Honda than a Honda dealer? IMHO, they aren't that expensive. Especially not for some bolts. They are ~55 cents a piece.

man ive done this several times........dont stress just get u a small left hand drill bit and it will come out with no problems. As for the bolt you can use just a regular style bolt but besure to man wrestle that washer off the old one or it will leak. Now as far as someone having the same style bolt as what comes on the VC forget it. I have been in the fastener business for 12 years now and i promise you its not available anywhere besides honda. You gotta PAY to Play my friend. Good luck!
