Ignition coil bolts

Hi, folks. Anyone have four ignition coil bolts laying around they want to sell? Don't need the cushions, just the bolts/sleeves.

-----Go to a Dodge dealership parts dept and ask for the bolts for a Dodge Neon. Crazy but it works.

It appears that the folks at Dodge didn't believe in the rubber grommets, as did the folks at BMW.
Photos/Videos of the Dodge Neon coil & bolt installation show rusty hex head bolts tightened directly onto the coil sans rubber washer.

I'd stick to the style MINI supplied from the factory with the rubber grommet. It's there for a reason.

Well, I settled on building my own bolts with M50 metric bolts and used rubber grommets to cushion top and bottom. Works well but I also had to use washers on the top ( to compress those grommets) which I don't particularly like the look of. I just have a hard problem paying nearly $25 each for new bolts. Called a local wrecking yard that had four Gen1 MINIs where they said the bolts were present. Went gleefully with a 10mm socket in hand and every one of them had the coil missing -- bummer.
