I was removing the Intake Manifold from my 4.0 OHV and removed the fuel rail.


Make a long story short, I lost one of the Torx bolts that secures the fuel rail to the Intake Manifold.


Besides a junkyard, anyone know of a website or store that is likely to carry such a part?

Is there a place like www.obscureFordBolts.com?

You don't need to have the exact torx bolt to secure the manifold. You should be able to use a socket head cap screw or a bolt with a washer under it to hold the fuel rail down. Take one of your existing bolts to Lowes (or any hardware store) and match up the thread and length, and you should be good to go. Because it just holds the fuel rail to the manifold, you shouldn't have to worry about using a hardened bolt.

The bolt will also most likely be a metric thread.
 






Just wanted to say hi to my fellow Pennsylvanians.

Also, Draper, your new '11 X looks beautiful in your pic. How do you like it so far since they're completely different from the old school Xs?
 






JD, I appreciate the suggestion, but I'd like to keep it to the original parts if possible.

I may have to use your method though atleast until I can find the correct bolt.

If anyone has a spare they could toss in an envelope, I'd appreciate it.
 






Shoot me your address in a PM and I will mail it tomorrow, I have a few spares.

You are looking for the stud that holds the Fuel rail to the LIM and the UIM slides over right?
 






Find,

You are a champ. PM away.

Oh, and I am elbows deep in your Pushrods, LIM, etc thread. Extremely helpful to me so far.
