HELP! Need a bolt for the O2 bung on my downpipe!

Its for the one on the top that is not used. The bolt that took me ages to find popped off today while driving and I need to put one on it ASAP. I do not have another car so I can't be driving all over to different stores to find one that fits. The first time I tried looking for it OSH and Home Depot did not have ones that fit, along with Autozone and Lowes. If anyone has an extra one that they could give me it would be MUCH appreciated!

Its this one (although mine is a Crucial downpipe not HKS):

I dunno if there's a Dale's Hardware near you, but they usually have a decent amount of different sized bolts. If you know the pitch and length, you can just call around.

He has not signed in for months so I do not know where he got his from.

Also I tried putting in a spark plug before and it did not fit, does it have to be a Subaru STi spark plug? And since I can't really go and go out to Ace and all that to look for bolts that they might not have does anyone have one lying around at home?

if youre not lazy you CAN pull the downpipe off and take it to a hardware store to find the correct bolt

O2 sensor should be an M18x1.5 bolt (18mm, 1.5 thread pitch)

I work at a fastener store and i can't find that spec. Is it a 2.5 thread pitch? and what is the excact length?

this is what i found
http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...l.ex?sku=38796 for regular steel
http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...82730035A20000 for stainless steel

If you want i'll order some from my hub and ship it to you...
(note in-stock means in my hubs not necessarily at my store)
