[Mk2] [NA] underside covers help

[S A Watt]

I am going to take off the covers from the underside of my Mr2 to service the car and check all ok below.

I have noticed that i have a few cable ties on rear cover so i suspect bots have been breaking before

I am going to get some new bolts to put in but i will not be back to the car until next week. ( store 20 miles away)

Can someone confirm the size of bolts i need. I know the heads are a 10 but what size to fit. Length and size

I have a tap and dye set but have never used it before. I will drill out any broken bolts but again can anyone tell me what size of Tap i would need to use to get new bolts in.

Sorry to seem a bit stupid but never used this before

cheers

Yes the heads are 10mm (socket size) the length is 10mm. The original toyota bolts work with a standard M6 tap.

I recall using a 4mm or 4.5mm drill.

Toyota sell replacement bolts for about 78p each. If I did mine again I would probably use stainless bolts and washers.
