While getting ready to mount my block to an engine stand i realized i had no tranny bolts. Are similar sized bolts (for mounting only) available from home depot or some place similar?

Anyone know the specifics of these bolts? thread pitch/length/anything else i might need to know...

thanks,
brian

 

no one knows?

for shame!

 

im going to make a guess at 14mm x 1.00 thread, and about 3.5" long. dont make a quote out of that

 

ill paypal you a dollar if your right.

if your wrong ill just call you bad names.

 

I asssume this is for a B-series motor. If so, the bolt size is 12x1.25mm and I think about 65-70mm long. The bolt head is 17mm.

Many people use stock transmission bolts to hold the engine to the stand. I picked up a few bolts from ACE Hardware a while back for like $2. They are a little longer and have held up just fine.

 

i swear i remember mine being a fine thread, and larger than 12mm. maybe not..oh well. anyone else?
<---been at college too long

 

That is directly from the Helms, and it sounds right.

 

Biggie is definitely right....as if he needs anybody else for credibility.

They are fine thread. 1.25 is considered fine thread for such a large bolt size. Typical thread is 1.5. Coarse thread is 1.75 for M12 bolts.

 

ahh, alright. guess i have been away too long

Exactly what I did, grab em from ACE, plus I got 90mm long just to be sure, and also add some anti-seize if this block is going to be on the stand/worked on for a while.

 

Thanks for the help everyone. Ill go grab these tomarrow.
