Problems with missing bolt on Pug 405

Post by aitch »

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me with this problem that is driving me to murder. I've a bolt missing of the heat shield on my pug (you can see the heat shield if you look down the back of the engine and the top bolt is missing). This causes an annoying grinding, vibrating noise when the car is started or when accelerating. As the heat shied is cast iron to withstand heat I presume the bolt must be specialised (as far as I know it's and 11 mm bolt). I've tried numerous scrap yards to no avail and all my local dealers can't help does anyone know where I can find a replacement bolt, the noise is driving me insane.
PS I have a 1992, K reg Peugeot 405 GRI, 1.9 (STI on log book) - it's just on the model change and seems to have some bits from each model as it drives my local garage to distraction when it needs new parts.
Thanks for reading this
Regards Sue
