I'm installing LN's .5liter deep sump and have run into an issue.

A test fit shows that the old bolts (M6x15) grab at least three or four threads.

I've got it all back to together now and ready to test my work next weekend.

Suggestion
I wouldn't buy bolts at Lowe's, they will all be very cheap and not fit for automotive use (even the ones that say they are).

Use the old bolts for the baffle or get the correct size in the next few days.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm installing LN's .5liter deep sump and have run into an issue. The bolts they sent for the baffle are M6x10 (whereas the originals are M6x15). Their website says the kit should include (3) M6x20 bolts for the baffle. A test fit shows that the old bolts (M6x15) grab at least three or four threads. Is this enough to use these? I'm heading now to Lowe's to look for the right size, and I've emailed and called LN.
Has anyone installed this kit? Do you have a recommendation? Use the old bolts for the baffle or get the correct size in the next few days. I need this done by Thursday.
Thanks!
Not sure about the thread length and this kit but I would use what they recommend.
I wouldn't buy bolts at Lowe's, they will all be very cheap and not fit for automotive use (even the ones that say they are). They will rust almost instantly. And good luck finding the right size there.
Go to a good auto parts store (Napa) or a good hardware store (like a big ACE hardware with rows and rows of fasteners in bins). Tell them you want something for a car, so you get the right grade, hardness and something that won't rust instantly.
Alternatively, any car dealer should have these bolts for you.
Thanks Logray. I sourced one from an auto parts store as you suggested that will work. I've got it all back to together now and ready to test my work next weekend.
Sorry I misread the original post and was thinking cover, yes the bolts inside the sump would not rust but definitely not something you want to cheap out on... buy some quality hardware instead of the cheap stuff. You did the right thing.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
