Flexplate to TC bolt specs???
It appears I left these bolts in Kansas when I pulled the engine out of the X...

Brian to the rescue. 3/8" dia x 1/2" long Grade 8
He said they cannot be longer than 1/2"!! He also offered to overnite them to me if I can't find them. BTS rocks!

In case you don't have this info. The bolts should also be torqued to 35 ft-lbs, with loctite applied to the threads, per PI's instruction sheet.

Thanks Roland,
Brian said he just 'tightens them up' - but I have a TQ wrench, so I'll use it... Gotta call him for bolts, so I'm gonna ask about thread locker.
