You can buy them online but that doesn't help if you need it asap.
A carriage bolt should work though. I can't remember, but where does that live on the Jeep? _________________ Brett

They will weld just fine. Just watch out for zinc fumes. _________________ Brett

Yes Wes,
Those are the bolts/screws I need.
I would prefer not to have to replace the firewall.
1. Cost
2. No telling what it would take to get it in
3. No telling how long I'd take to get it back together.
Other than Bubba holes, and the corroded portion by the box,
the rest of the firewall is in decent shape. John and George
were checking to see if they had pieces they could supply,
but my guess is they are all bad in that spot or too good a
firewall to cut up.
So I'm doing it the hard way. Just worried I won't get the bolts
and so forth back in their proper places, but I'm trying.... _________________ Brian

Thanks for the pics. Hard to believe all of that fits behind the air cleaner.
Yes, I knew about moving deleting the filter. Thing is, it was more than just deleting the screws. It was probably a new firewall. The 10-24 screws were welded in an indention just like the 5/16" screws, and that indention is not noticeable in the early firewall photos I've seem marked as such. I originally thought the indention was for strength, but after looking closer realize it was for clearance for the cowl battery box. I guess the screw heads would have been an issue protruding into the cowl.
I have MC11481. I believe Aaron has one within a few hundred of mine, and below the change. Wonder if we can get him to shoot a photo of his firewall.
Maybe someone else with a unit below MC20599 can shoot a photo of their firewall if original.
Take care, _________________ Brian
