Default Need 4 bolts for TQ tube to Bellhousing. Or Advice on sourcing them

In my quest to get my car back together after a 2 year hibernation. (shaking head, with frown)

I am getting very close to getting to transmission in !. Problems is I need the 4 Torque Tube bolts. Paragon has new bellhousing to block bolts. Would they work?

Or can I get these at an auto store if the are a standard size and thread pitch.

Thankyou for any direction/help/ Even what bolt size/thread would be huge.

You want the PET catalog. Here or here depending on your model year.

I got some from Fastenal the last time I was in there and was replacing all the hardware I came across, get your dimensions from the PET.

The bell housing to block bolts have a fairly hard-to-find thread (which is probably why Paragon sells them). The 4 bolts that hold the TT to the bell housing, however, are super common. They are M10 x 1.5 x 35. Any hardware store that carries metric bolts should have them.

Almost any and every bolt for our car can be ordered from BelMetric. They have a great website and customer service is outstanding. Their prices can't be beat either.

Yeah, pretty common bolt. Try to find some with a smaller head than the normal 16mm AF bolt. I found some with a 14mm AF head so my ratchet spanner fits over them and they are much easier to get in and out.
