Default Correct bolts/nuts used on SHP converters

I need some help.

I am in need of six ( 6 ) bolt & nut sets that would have
been used for mounting my 6-lug converter on my CX THM400.

Can anyone post an image showing me the correct head markings,
bolt length and thread size? It never ends. I found the
CX, then a 6-lug converter ( through a member here ), now
I need to find the correct fasteners.

Thanks!

Steve

Have you tried AMK products? I have found them to be very accurate. Their catalog lists part #G-5280 for the torque convertor to flywheel a sbeing a six piece kit. www.amkproducts.com

Here's an addendum to this post. It was suggested to me
that the 6-lug converters only used bolts as the lugs
actually had threaded holes in them. Can anyone confirm
this for me?

They use a 3/8 coarse thread bolt Only! Use an appropriate lubricant and torque down. Thats it.

Joe! Great sketch...

Are these 3/8-16 bolts anything special? In other words,
is the head thickness thinner than normal? What is the
length of the threaded section? Any way you can post an
image of an original?

Rob,

This is what I found on their website. Doesn't match your
part number though.

The head marking is somewhat different than that on the shetch
provided earlier, but is the overall look of this bolt correct?

I have the 6 bolt converter in my 70 Z-28. I will post some pics tomorrow of the original bolts.

The bolt head on the sketch is 7/8" across the top face so you only see the bolt head, not the built in bolt washer--
bolt head thickness is 3/16"
length of the shaft is 7/8"
