Default Missing nuts on b series vtec valve cover

I bought a b16a2 head and it was missing 4 of the nuts in the center of the valve cover and I was wanting to know if anyone know where to get them?

I would just call asking Honda what thread/pitch the nuts are tapped to, and just check your local hardware store for the same size. Dunno if it would look as clean tho, either way baby you want a b series y?our gonna pay b series money for parts in the end

Thanks everyone for the responses, yes it is M6 x 1 and I'm probably going to have to get normal nuts from a hardware store, but I might call Honda back tomorrow and see if they can give me the price egsleepercivic gave. Worse case scenario I just use normal nuts, not a big deal to me, thanks again!

I have tried a few websites with no luck because of shipping cost, but I decided to look again and found 1 websites called amayama that will sell me all of them for $15, which has been the best price by a good margin. Thanks again.

I already ordered the nuts, they should be here in about 3 weeks, I have some nuts laying around that were m6x1.0 to use right now until I get them. I appreciate all the help!
