and broke the head off of it .. my question is

thermostat housing i need to get a match on it asap
because it has to be fixed by tomorrow

Well, when you get it out the old one, which you will have to do, you will know how long it is. I have no clue otherwise

It's pretty close to the upper bolt.

The one in my garage motor is 3/4" long, 1/2 X 18 threads (no idea if it´s original, but it fits well). May want to bouble check the thread count, time for me to get some new glasses.

My bad, sorry, the bolt is a 5/16 the head is 1/2", the thread length is 3/4", pretty sure the threads are 18 per inch.

You probably don't need to go there. If an autopart store (Napa usually) or hardware store in your area has the bif chest o'drawers with all the different bolts, it should be there among them.

The bolt size I gave you is for a Renix, I should have looked at your profile before answering (or you should have posted the year). Time for bed.
