2001 Manifold to Cat Bolts

[FusiliJerry]

I am getting things ready to do an in-frame refresh of my 4.0. I cannot find ANYWHERE, the shouldered bolts that connect each exhaust manifold to the 2 separate cats.

They are pictured in the listing for a manifold here:

Does anyone know where I can find them?

When I did mine in my '00I was able to order new bolts and the clip pins from my dealership.
Weren't cheap, thinking about $35 for all of them but said screw it.
If you can still get them is anybody's guess.
Thinking most guys just use nuts and bolts without a problem

I had to cut mine in half since they were rusted solid. Just went to the local hardware store and picked up generic nuts/bolts for less than $5.

So the shoulder/neck is of little actual importance? I have an Ace near me with a good selection of bolts.

Can't see why it would be. Pick the biggest bolt that fits in the hole, and as long as it's tight the joint won't leak

Doubling back, I didn't find the need to pull the manifold out at all; I just moved it aside let it float. Wasn't even an issue considering I went to an all stud kit (Boostwerks Titanium).
