longer throttle body bolts?

well as you know, with the nitrous plate inserted between the throttle body and the manifold the bolts aren't nearly long enough now I have a BBK throttle body)...to make the problem worse I can only use the Allen head on the bottem two since there is no room for the wider hex head....using the bolts I had only 3-4 threads are actually making contact with the manifold.....looked everywhere for 3" metric bolts with Allen head and no one seems to have them....what did you guys do?

I can't remember which company had the longer throttle body bolts, but you could contact both and purchase them through either company.

i remember when the guy i got my t/a from pulled the plate off, he had to find the stock bolts and remove the bolts included with the nitrous works kit. call them up, or head over to the hardware store.

yeah the kit came with longer bolts...the problem I ran into is that the head on the hex head bolts that came with the nitrous kit are too big to fit the bottom bolt holes on the throttle body...the space is too narrow. BBK sent the Allen head bolts with the TB but they don't have anything longer...I need 3" bolts to make it work.....thought maybe someone else may have had the same problem....
