Been cleaning up the shed to get rid alot of bits and pieces I dont need. I have came accross the bolts pictured below, but I cant remember if they are Torque converter bolts of Flywheel bolts?? They have a L on top of the head. Also how many bolts are meeded to bolt up a flywheel or torque converter? I have 16 in total and want to sell them as a kit to do one. Cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Convertor will most likely only have 3 bolts. Flywheels are usually around 6...

There are four short 13mm bolts connecting the torque convertor to the flex plate. There are 6 bolts connecting the flywheel or flex plate to the crank. theVLguy is correct, there are eight crown wheel bolts on a BW78 differential.
