Post by: Sine Deviance on March 09, 2010, 03:06:02 PM
Anyone know what thread they are or where I can get them? Somehow all of mine rattled out.

i'll measure them tonight, still have them out (only have the big ones) - I assume you are asking about the bellhousing inspection cover that thread into the bellhousing and not the ones with nuts at the other end. they are weird looking from what i remember (are pointed and have thread all the way like the auto-threading screws). If i am to guess they are M8 (metric 8 mm) but i'll confirm tonight.

Yep, those are the ones, and I was talking about the bellhousing cover :biggrin: It'd be the bottom four bolts, they don't seem to have nuts on them (so... they're nutless? :lol: )

Thanks a bunch. If I can pick up some replacements at an auto parts store that would be awesome.

there is one of these on the insp cover

the way you look at the cover from the front towards the rear of the vehicle is located on the top right (driver's side) of the insp cover.
i have no idea what kind of bolt this is

the 2 bolts on the bottom are M12 (metric 12) and about 2-3/4'' long (or even 2-1/2), if you miss those you can use 1/2'' bolts no problem.
