Hey guys,

I noticed my Utility truck's lower vacuum pod was wiggling around at idle. I sort of put a blind eye to it untill the weekend cause I didn't want to dig into it untill the work week was over.

yup... I heard it fall off 2 nights ago on the drive home and nick my radiator fan

So it's hanging by the hose, I noticed the snakes under the dash are hissing less due to less vacuum (I know, booster is shot too). I'm wondering if anyone knows the size of the little bolts that hold it on there. I assume metric but the places around here might have to order metric bolts! So I want to get it right. Are they M6 or M8's or somethin? SAE?

Not sure of the bolt size without looking but ill bet you also lost the pushrod that actuates it.

which bolts are you referring to? the 3 that normally hold it on? or in your case, none that hold it on M6 is ringing a bell for me. i can't remember what thread pitch they have though. they have a 10mm head on them i remember that much so far lol. check your local napa autoparts, if there's even a napa out your way. i bought 3 metric bolts from the napa local to me when i built the block off plate and got rid of my lower diaphragm.
