Default Power Steering Pump Bolt

Ok so today I was replacing the water pump, and when reinstalling the power steering reservoir I dropped one of the bolts, and cannot find it, I may jack it up and remove the tire, and dee if I can see it up under there.
If not how can I get a replacement bolt?

Could I take the other bolt out, take it to a hardware store, and get it matched?

Man I hate putting those 2 bolts back, there has got to be a better way,,,

Yeah it sucks, I dropped it once and found it on the ground, second time it hit plastic and disappeared, I searched and searched...

Once I get it done I have another project, finally got me a Rockford Fosgate 12" Sub to go with my new touch screen Kenwood Excelon deck, so soon it should sound good...
Eventually I'll get back to the last 2 LED lights, and try to get some pics, it is getting cold out though!

Happy Holliday'* my friend!

Went all out for sure, finally got around to finishing up my wiring, putting wire loom over the positive 4AWG wire under the hood, got AMP and 1.5 farad capacitor hooked up...
Set deck to all flat tones, then turned it up till my AMP flashed red to tell me there was input distortion, so I identified my max vol level, then at max vol level I turned gain up till it told me there was output distortion..
Then I realized I forgot to turn my bass **** up all the way before doing the output test, so I need to do it again, lol
Set my EQ back, set the crossover on the AMP to 80Hz.
Then adjusted the Infra-Sonic, which is a 12dB filter that prevents frequencies from below my chosen audio range from being applied to the sub, helps in vented/ported boxes like the one I have., they recommend setting it 25/30 hZ, I have it around 25Hz...
Once I redo the gain distortion test I'll adjust the Punch EQ, it is an EQ with up to 18dB @ 45Hz...

Before when I turned it up she almost took my breath, holy crap this one sub took me back to my youth of loud basshead days, LOL


Oh yeah, got my power steering bolt and got it in, and of course you know the saga continues, tomorrow I get the coolant dye, light, and mirror..
