So, I'm piecing things back together and I'm missing one of the four lifter tray bolts. Great, right? Kinda frustrating. Does anyone have any idea if I can get one local? I live in a decent sized city with places like Home Depot, Lowe's, Advanced Auto Parts, Napa, Auto Zone, etc easily accessible. I'd like to pick this up locally as opposed to having to order yet another part online. Trying to get this project done soon..

Thanks in advance.

Maybe disclose your location and maybe a fellow tech member will have one.

I recommend grabbing one of your other lifter tray bolts up and running down to some of those local parts stores and see if you can match something up. Hopefully you'll get lucky and one of the autoparts stores will actually have a replacement bolt to make it simple.

i recommend getting a new tray and bolt from the dealer or a speed shop that has the Gm lifter trays ands bolts

I believe it is 8mm x 1.0...but just match an old one up, if u can't get one with a shoulder than use a washer...

with the shoulder design on that bolt that's one I would get from the dealer

It is very important that the bolt not tighten on the lifter tray, it cannot be locked down as this can cause failure. Get the factory bolt if at all possible.

This makes me curious? What do you mean?

When I pulled my lifter trays a few months ago, the bolt seems press down on the tray...A pic would help.

The bolt has a spacer built in so it tightens against the block before it locks the plastic down. This lets the lifter center the guide while the bolt keeps it from rising up. You need the bolt GM supplies if you replace it, or make a proper spacer.

Its just a metric shoulder bolt, nothing special

Dealer will be easiest, fastenal or McMaster would suffice as well, given the people behind the counter are not incompetent like those working around here
