I've been to all of the auto parts and hardware stores in my vicinity looking for a couple replacement screws and I'm having trouble finding them. I'm worried to just buy some off the web because I'm not sure the material used to make the screw is ok for use in an engine and that the threads are the same. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place I can buy hardware from and be reasonably sure that I'm getting the correct part.

The screws are the ones that hold the thermostat housing in: very bottom-left most screws in this schematic: http://repairguide.autozone.com/znet...5280061743.gif. I'd buy a replacement housing if I was sure that it came with new screws, but none of the ones I saw mentioned the hardware as coming with the item.

 

have you considered a Honda dealer since they will have the exact perfect part?

 

or the junkyard

 

As mentioned a bone yard, [PicknPull] is your best/cheapest bet. 94

 

the long 10mm at the top of the housing? either buy new at honda or go to the junkyard.
