Those bolts are a grade 5, with a torque of 33 ft. lbs.

Do not use washers!

AMK has them.

Are they different than the bolts used in the regular production M40 applications that had the threaded lug convertors? .

Pete, according to JoeG, they are. I posted an image of
the AMK bolts and I'm not sure they are right. Hope someone
can post an image of the real ones.....

Paul,

That's what I needed to see. Thanks a ton ! Now, pull the
other 4 bolts out and send them to me so I can see how well
they look together on my converter. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Correct bolts/nuts used on SHP converters
 

Are these bolts available from any fastener supplier? What about junkyards? They had to be used in other applications.

I will contact AMK to see if they can help.

I am sure they would look positively beautiful on your converter. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
