ATS torque converter bolts

[Turner87]

My old torque convert bolts are a little chewed up from shop not tighting them down all the way. That being said I need new ones. I took my old ones to local hardware stores but theirs were too long. Went to fastenal and got some that was close just a little longer then the ATS bolts. Can I order new bolts from ATS or would I be safe putting washers on the bolts I have.

I'd order new bolts for sure

That's what I was thinking. Better safe then sorry

Make sure your flex plate holes are not elongated as this will happen again very soon.

What do you mean by elongated? I bought another used flex plate, mine flew apart and holes were wallered out

You didn't say that above.

I just had my trans rebuilt and the guy who rebuilt it said he ordered them directly from allison sorry but i dont know the part number but they had to be shorter because I installed a billet 3 disk converter so they had to be the short ones. I hope this helps!!!:thumb:
