So i just bought an NRG ETD and i believe i am missing a bolt as there are only 2 which must be for the ETD itself. What size bolt is used to mount the small bracket to the engine?
thats the right spot. i thought it was a bit strange too, i got my nrg damper off ebay, same thing didnt come with that bolt. i ran down to the local hardware store, its an M10 bolt. I bought the shortest one they had (M10x16 i think?) but the threads arent very deep so try to go with something like M10X12 if that exists. also buy a washer/spring-lock washer for between the bolt and the bracket.be careful wrenching the bolt into your block too. even though i tightened mine down as hard as i could, after 5 minutes of driving, the bracket had shifted to one side so that it rested somewhat on the exhaust flange. this is a pretty shitty design imo, the bracket doesnt seem very solid but oh well i havent had any problems with mine yet
I believe Billman told me once that the threaded hole is for an engine hoist to remove the engine from the car.
Well that is a fun little fact. Thanks for sharing!
FYI i measured the depth of that hole and its 25mm. so it would probably take a 20mm lg bolt seated flush but when you have the flat washer lock washer and .19" thick bracket a 25mm long bolt wouldn't be a bad idea. I will purchase a few bolts after work and try them out and report back to be 100% on it.
Thanks for all the help everyone, s2ki never lets me down!

how did you measure it? it may be that deep, but is it threaded to 25mm? i went for shorter, because after the first few threads it becomes very hard to turn as if its bottoming out
