Parts help needed

Found the cause of my slight engine shudder last week. The front RHS engine support mount arm is missing bolts and not attached. There are three bolts that connect the arm to the engine sump. Does anyone know what size and length these bolts should be, look like they would be about 8mm (5/16") diameter. At least 2 of the holes look free so doesn look like the bolts have snapped off.

Its a 1990 non SE turbo.

Jason,

It is an 8mm bolt, but when reinstalling the new one, you should use a drop of Hi-temp Locktite to insure that the bolts don't come free in the future.
It's also not a bad idea to check the condition of the motor mount on the opposite side of the car. This is because with the engine free to move more than specified due to the missing bolts, you may have caused the opposite side mount to elongate it's opening or tear the rubber insulator. Happy Motoring! Jim'85TE
