[s-cars] 993TT BBK snag hit - part number help?

[Eric Phillips]

I would very much appreciate that.  I looked up the McMaster-Carr
ones, and the 18mm head on those guys makes me wonder if both the bolt
head AND the wrench socket that would go over it would fit.  But heck,
we're just talking about a bolt style.  Dave F. used the ignition
components from a whole different set of cars!  Who the hell am I to
get all worried, hmm?  And a hex bolt torques up just as well as a
socket head, right?

Thanks again,

Eric
