    Hi all. Is there a bolt kit I can buy for a Chevy 250 L6 waterpump? I believe they're 3/8" unc.
    Thanks.
    Roger.

    Ironmongers don't have 3/8-16 bolts?

    If you have a pump, you can put a longer bolt through and mark how long it needs to be to extend 1/2" (13mm) past the mating surface. Then measure the length from under the head to your mark, that's the bolt length.

    If the available lengths are not quite right, you can get longer and cut off a bit.

    That's what I'd do, and I live where one can buy "kits" for just about anything.
