TPI intake bolt threads
okay, after having it bead blasted and it being full of beads, I need to clean up the bolt holes in the runners and plenum and base.
Problem? They're 5/16 - 20 thread. Nobody in town carried or can order these (and I do know who to call) Anyone who has taps has 5/16 - 18 (standard coarse) or 5/16 - 24 (fine) and I really don't feel like re-engineering the bolts setup in the intake.

Yes they are metric. Take an existing bolt to your local tool shop and have them find a tap for you.
