As the thread title says... Does anyone know what I could replace those bolts with? mine seem to have committed suicide.

#10 sheet metal screws, 3/4 to 1" long. They thread into plastic, so no need for ultimate precision.

I always thought that screw into plastic setup was kind of weak; I guess the piping kind of holds the fmic in place too though...
