accessory bracket uh oh?

so i checked out my accessory bracket today. the bracket is fine, but the bolt that screws through the pully INTO the acccessory bracket (pully closest to the throttle body just down and to the right of the ALT.) got ripped out(long story). so the bolt went flying and i noticed the hole is just nearly stripped. anyone know what size bolt fits in that hole so i can go to the hardware store and grab one? if i cant get it to fit correctly i have to get a brand new bracket, so lets cross our fingers. thanks guys

That would be the power steering pump bolts. You can fix the threads with a helicoil, I had mine strip as well (too much torque will do that). Sorry don't remember the thread size.

Did you look on Shbox.com?
Did you lose both bolts?

Yeah, you can fix the holes with a helicoil or thread insert.
