Fired up my car this morning to go to work

SPIDEY SENSES TINGLING

Looked under the car to discover that the centre exhaust mount, the lever looking thing right by the tranny towards the front of the car has come off. Looks like there are three bolts that are supposed to be holding it together, and they have vanished.

Anybody happen to know what size/length bolts are required?

Thanks

i don't offhand, but the entire repair kit for that piece is very inexpensive in the aftermarket so it might be worth it to just refresh everything thats there.

How DARE YOU. We are Canadian. We don't do stuff with clothes hangers.

We use duct tape.

If it's a really important repair, we splurge for brand name stuff (instead of dollarama).

A good old dollarama! Mission accomplished. It was indeed an M8 bolt for future reference, not sure on the length since I grabbed a bunch between 50mm and 100mm in length and then eyeballed The Chosen One
