Anyone have harmonic balancer bolts I can borrow until I buy you new ones?

My balancer flew off on the highway, at first I thought maybe the alternator pulley came off cuz the alternator was making a funny noise, but then on the highway something flew off & I'm like whatever its the alternator, this was in surrey, so I drove all the way home on plain battery power :( then I come home & the alternator was there, I look lower & my belt/harmonic balancer is missing, I have a spare one but I don't have bolts, I would also need your belt unless someone local has it.

I wonder if I did any damage to my engine :(? It wasn't really shaky or anything, I mean it vibrated but my piece of crap car has been vibrating forever now so I figured its just what it does, man I hate these cars already!

hey I have a balancer still attached to a hub (I think). You are welcome to the bolts from that. I also have a brand new alternator belt that you can use for a little while if you want.

Sorry to hear that matt. Your engine will be fine unless you were redlining it for a while after. Sounds like you got off lucky. Most times when rotating parts come off they take a lot of stuff out with it. Ford F150s used to have crank pulleys that broke and when they went more often than not they took out the fan, radiator, and hood sheetmetal. Ive repaired a few of those. Think they got that fixed now though as I havent seen it happen for a while. How did you not hear the balancer fall off? Not ragging you but thats a pretty big thing to fall off and not hear.
