so i grabbed up a engine stand for my honda build to make things easiter on myself...well the problem that i have noticed is that the bolts that go to the trans are too short...i saw online something for the d series to use a longer set of bolts but thats not happening for me...no hardware place has the bolts i need...does anyone have any input on this...should i saw down the holes down on the arms just a bit to accomodate this problem or what...

Wow I LITERALLY just got an engine stand and was going to put my B16A block on it tomorrow. I didn't even think of that.

In for answer.

yeah umm we are both in the same boat right about now...and 12mm x 1.25 x 90mm is a hard *** bolt to ****ing find believe me when i say that..3 stores and nothing my man..my pops went to fastenal and they said expect to pay 25-50 for the bolts....thats for 4 of em...i think i might have to that route i really do need em too

holy ****! did you try google to see if you can find them or even maybe a place that works on hondas? maybe someone like benson would know since they build engines.. thats way to much for 4 bolts ... dont know if this will help but worth a try...

try finding ready-rod with that thread, then build your own bolts, if that isnt available, go to a boneyard and try to find similiar ones, maybe the lower strut mounting bolts off some import? worst case use undersided bolts and a nut on the other end of the tranny.. (kind of sketchy but it'll do

I used bolts from home depot and just got them long enough to put a nut on the other side. My block has been on a stand for months now with no problems.

The Home Depot and Lowe's in my area didn't have what I needed.

Alright guys, its not that hard... use the bolts you would normally use to bolt the tranny on! I had to make adapters for my engine stand, they are ~6" long peices of steel square tubing with holes in each end.. not sure if you need to do that on all engine stands.

The tranny bolts are 3 3/4" too short for that stand I am trying to use.

im in the same boat right about now.,.,so all NAPA carry them (12mmX1.25X90mm) rite??

Hard to say if all NAPA stores carry them. Call around and ask.

The NAPA I got my bolts from is also a machine shop and they carry a lot of odds and ends that a "regular" NAPA my not have.

I went to lowes and got a bolt that was a little smaller than the non threaded holes and then got washers and nuts... I had it like that for months while getting my car re painted
