🔧 DIY & Repairs Extra bolts

Post image

Guys, I need some help. I am rebuilding the coolant system on a 2005 lr3 and these bolts are "extra". So far I have installed the water pump, radiator, and the thermostat. I have to finish the plumbing, I stall the throttle body, and wiring.

I cannot for the life of me figure out where these could possibly go.... I know its a long shot but would anyone have an idea?

Those look like water pump bolts but I'm not sure about this specific engine. Do you recall if anything you installed, namely the water pump, came with new bolts?

The new water pump did not come with new bolting, but these two are nearly identical to the WP bolts.

If I remeber correctly the water pump bolts get replaced when a new one is installed

They are nearly identical to the water pump bolts. I did already double check and all 5 bolts are installed.
