10 mm fan bolts
Was driving today when I noticed my temp. gauge approaching 120!!. Never happened before (highest ever thus far for me was 100), I pulled over, opened my hood and found my fan and the cover loose ! All but 1 of the four 10 mm bolts must have worked their way out and the fourth was just there-barely hanging on.... I got the car towed home. My question is - should I be careful about the bolts I use to replace these? In other words, what types of metals should I use or avoid? I picked up some up from the hardware store - seem to be the proper size, but I do not want them to shear over time from the force of my cooling fan spinning full bore....
Thank you.
