Valve Cover Gasket Bolts
So one of the previous owners of my 2009 C63 replaced the driver's side valve cover with the new black plastic cover, but the passenger side is still the aluminum one. I can find the valve cover bolts for the plastic cover but not the original aluminum one, FCP Euro and Rock Auto don't seem to have them. Anyone know a place to get bolts that fit the aluminum one or know if it even matters? I'd rather not buy new valve cover just to fit the stupid one time use bolts. Planning on upgrading the Cam Adjuster phaser plates with the 63 motorsports ones, this is the last thing I need to finish up the material orders.

The bolt length and thread pitch between the two bolt variants is indeed the same, but the steel bolts without the integrated sleeves for the PFL metal covers will usually break the FL plastic covers.
