Fuel injector rail securing bolt, where can I buy one?

[andreweorr]

Hi All,
I’ve lost one of the 10mm hex bolts that secure the fuel injector rail to the cylinder head (1996 850R auto). It just shot out of my hand and is now lying somewhere in the depths.. can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement, or perhaps tell me the bolt dimensions to allow me to buy an alternative? I can’t easily get to a vehicle breaker’s.
Also, do you think the car will be driveable with only one securing bolt in place? For the record, I’m expecting an extendable magnetic pick up tool any day. I don’t have plans to drive the car over the weekend so the original may be retrieved.
Thanks for your help, A

M6 x 1.0 I think, not sure of length, take the other bolt out and measure it?

I wouldn't start the engine without both bolts in place, in case you get any fuel leakage...

A standard bolt of that size will be available from many places (on line sites are good for these but may not be quick enough this time?)

If you have a local engineering supplier then they should have one: places like Toolstation & Screwfix also stock a range of metric bolts- longer types can be cut down if necessary.

Thanks for your responses. Cutting down a longer bolt is a good idea. I’m not with car to measure the other bolt but a bit of reading has led me to be confident it’s an M6 bolt, and you’ve given me more certainty downstream, thanks. I’ve bought an M6x16 genuine Volvo bolt ‘for various uses’ on eBay which should hopefully deliver quickly. Will let you know!!
