Anyone have any M8 distributor bolts laying around?
I noticed the other day that my B18C1 distributor was missing 2 of the 3 bolts, only 1 was holding it in place!! 
Last time I touched the distributor was when I replaced the head gasket 3 years ago, so I have no idea how those bolts came out or how long they've been gone. I made a Sharpie match mark back then, which is still lined up, so it hasn't budged at all, thankfully. But I grabbed some M8 bolts from the hardware store ASAP because I didn't want to drive it any more with only one bolt holding the timing in place.
Problem is that the M8 bolts from the store take a 13mm socket, which is rather annoying. I'd rather not have to pay $10 shipped for 2 bolts from an online parts source. Anyone have a couple of these (parts diagram says M8x28) laying around they could part with?
