Flex Plate Bolts.

Does anyone know where (other than the dealer) I can get the 6 bolts needed to attach the flex plate to the engine? building up a jeep and can't find them anywhere.

Thanks in advance

salvage yard or dealer-- I'm sure it would be possible to find correct strength and thread pitch elsewhere, but I wouldn't waste the time to try (difficult to get them with the shallow bolt head and would cause an inbalance if ya just ground them down)

They are 1/2"-20 x .590". Problem is, they're a "place bolt," and not the easiest thing to find.

ARP has a kit for Pontiac that will work - I don't recall the part number offhand, but it's a set of six with the correct thread and length.

Just went and looked - you should want #200-2904

Go to the dealer and get the bolts. They are not a part that you'll want to skimp on. The correct bolts are matched by weight so vibration will not be an issue with them. Use the right bolts and the right torque. If you use the wrong ones, you are looking for a premature failure of your flexplate. Not a easy job that a few dollars could have helped.

That's why I suggested the ARP part - I've put a few years on a set in my 1987.

They're not far enough out that an imbalance would cause a serious problem, but it's still a good idea to buy them as set.
