I have been searching for a while this morning and have drawn a blank.
As I am digging down to the heads on the Borrego, removing the accessories and brackets,
I have been dutifully labeling, and cleaning all the fasteners.
Most of them have a bit of corrosion on them and a few have compromised heads, so since they are out, good time to replace them!
Thing is, I don't see any offerings for a full set of bolts, etc?
Anyone know where they can be had?
I suspect that getting them individually would double the cost of the parts for this job.

On a Thor they should all be metric, either standard or flange heads (although Lrcat says that the inlet manifold to head bolts are 3/8 UNC) . I replaced all the (Imperial) propshaft UJ bolts and nuts with Allen headed ones and just went to a local fastener company with one of the old ones to match them up. I would do the same for any others I needed but I suspect you don't have similar engineering fastener companies nearby (living in the city that is the home to Perkins Engines means I've got a lot of engineering based industry around here).

Sadly, our only fastener shop did not survive Covid.......Metric flange heads are very thin on the ground.
I will keep looking, but am not optimistic.
Great idea for the U joints, will get the bolts and have them on hand for the next time I have to do them.
Just finished the 4 on Borrego a week before I discovered exhaust leak, so too late there!
