box Maiting bolts question
Hey all.
I have almost everything for a n/a manual conversion.
i know i need these 6 x Fly wheel bolts M12 x 1.25 x 65mm (8.8 tensile)
But im confused about the bolts needed to mate the BOX TO THE ENGINE & any additional bolts needed for the cluch if needed.
iv done a heap of reaserch on this forum and skyline forums and cant find any solid answers...
Can i use the auto tranny bolts?
Or do i need a speciffic type?
i know it may sound silly but iv never done the convo b4 and i want to be %100 sure on every thing B4 i start. And i also know it will be hard for me to super-glue the box to the engine with out bolts lol
any help would be much appreciated thanks

Theyre not high tensile or anything but you'll need the correct bolts as I'd imagine it would have different length bolts like most other boxes / engines have.

hi tensile bolts won't do any harm go to a bolt shop and buy them
with regards to length get a vernier and use the plunger on the rear to gauge a depth and subtract 10mm from that to determine the length of bolt you need
and yes there are different lengths

thanks dont like beeing so anal but i have to be up here... well went to 4 stors including Repco and a bolt warehouse (Atom supply) n they didnt even have any! not even in storage, as i ended up raiding there supply rooms... I figure its a good time to have a look considering the cas is playing up, orderd one but it takes 3-4 weeks for any part to arrive in karratha, and theres a catigory 4 CYCLONE on its way that may just flatten this $hit hole any way lol
i can freight any thing from perth (1650 km south) but the hardest part so far has been these bolts lol
thanks for the advice mate.
