Looking for source for 1971 LT-1 carb bolts

[Mike E.]

On the 71 LT-1 (and 72) on the left front of the carb there is a bracket for the solenoid for the CEC/anti-diesel solenoid. (Holley carb only, obviously). There is a funky little clip there with tabs that bend up to keep the mounting bolts from loosening. I'm looking for a source for those mounting bolts. They are hex head (I think a 7/16 wrench fits, although it could be a 3/8), it has a shoulder that fits in the bracket, and then the threads are 8/32. Anyone know where to find some? I've added a picture for reference--this is from one of the cars included in the "Fraternal triplets" article a few years ago in the Restorer. Thanks for your help!

Ford 5.0 carburetors for several years used those bolts and the french locking tabs. I have purchased the entire carb for $10 to $30 dollars but that could be higher now. Heres one on ebay click on the photo and you can see the bolts.

Should have added after I get the carb I remove the bolts and french lock. Then resell the carb to recoup some of my initial costs.
