Today, I was intalling a new Thermostat on my Civic, and one of the bolts broke Now I have to drive all the way to Lowe's and find the correct thread and length.
Ugh I forgot how frustrating working on cars can be...

I believe you will be better served driving to a checker auto, autozone, or similar. Most of what they have at Lowes is designed for lumber and of insufficient hardness for use in automotive applications.

its a #10mm head with a 8mm shank thread is 32 or more.
not a big deal on that bolt of what grade but its the lip built to the head that is hard to get best is to get it off a parts car. and to get the old stud out too. thats fun hope you didnt cross thread it.
