Default Valley cover bolts for Fast intakes.

So Ive done a few searches and wanted to get a consensus if there is any issue with using hardware store bolts to replace the valley cover bolts?

These are the ones that I am looking at:

I can purchase these from a vendor if needed but my tune appointment is coming up soon so I want to have them in hand ASAP.

I actually tried this. I'm not a bolt expert so I can't tell you the grade of bolt I used but I got them from Ace Hardware. While torquing them down the head to one snapped off. Thankfully I was able to dig it out without causing damage. I gave up and ordered some bolts from Amazon that were specifically for the Fast install. They worked great and where $12.

Those will work fine. Stick to Stainless, 10.9, or 12.9
