New bolt required

Having now replaced the new radiator and fitting new hoses I find that I require a replacement bolt which attaches the alloy water outlet on top of the engine. Its a wierd size and I have been unable to find a replacement.
Is this something that the A7 suppliers may have?

Re: New bolt required

The original was a 5/16" BSF bolt but a stud is usually fitted now because thread in the web is a weak point. If the thread is badly damaged it is best to fit a thread insert (helicoil). A stainless steel stud is a good idea - available here.
