Default 2011 3.7l mustang intake

I was doing the spark plugs on my car and one of 6 smaller bolts broke on the intake manifold. I was wondering where I can get a replacement so I don’t have to replace my whole intake manifold

First;, If you were to take another same size bolt out and take it to an auto supply store (maybe NAPA) they should be able to come up with an exact replacement or something close. If not , a dealership should have them in stock.

Now , not sure I follow exactly why you might need to replace the intake manifold. . Is this one of the bolts that hold the coil in place and also is an electrical connection for the coil to ground? If you could be a little more specific , maybe we can come up with an alternative or easier solution.

because it’s one of the bolts that holds the upper intake manifold to the lower and it has a locking washer in the top so I didn’t know if I was gonna be able to pop it out of there.

Were you able to remove the broken portion from the lower manifold? If that is what happened .
