I was reinstalling the air meter on my intake when I dropped one of the 2 screws that hold it on. I looked everywhere. It's gone.

Where is the best place for me to find the correct replacement screw?

Just go to the dealer. They must have lots of those tiny little buggers on hand.

Again, I found it. This place is great for all arts and pictures.

And much easier than me getting to the dealership and arguing with the parts counter guy that yes you can order it for me and no I don't want to order the whole air meter and your mechanics probably have these on their tool box in view of where we are standing.

Sorry about the rant, but we all have been there.

Maybe it got suck up by the intake and went inside the engine.

That's what I'd be afraid of if I didn't watch it drop clear.

I say go to the dealer for the correct part. Can't be more than a buck. Take another with you to match.
