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

Had the bolts from my MF5 sitting around: The 2 cast brackets support the sandwich plate and bolt to the bottom of the block. The bolts that go into the bell housing are M10. The longer ones are 60mm long and the shorter ones are 40mm and 35mm.

This is off my manual N/A VL. There should actually be 4 long bolts and they bolt through the bell housing into the block (around the top). The two shorter ones bolt through the bell housing into the brackets, one from the front and one from the back as one of the brackets in threaded.
