Nightmare

Seems there's no end of hurdles to get over when working on the motors , every way i turn i'm short of something or did'nt think i needed to order a part , worse thing bein they mostly gotta come across the pond.

Tis the last straw with these flex to crank bolts , who would think they would use different bolts? , there's EIGHT of em too.

Just put an order in & i STILL need parts to finish off.

Just too impatient for this nonsense.

Rant over.

Have you also got an 8 bolt flex plate, as opposed to the usual 6 bolt ??

I have one at Hauser's if you are really stuck..

Thought you're meant to give it all to Mr Hauser and just settle up when it's ready

heads up mate surely once you know the exact size you could go to a local fixings place and see what they got

Got the 8 bolt FP thanks Pete.

I would'nt mind if i overlooked the flexplate , but who would think about checkin the bolt size , worse part is i've had the crank sat here for a few months.

All very well, but remember they are grade 8 bolts....

Adam,
I remember going to bolt the flex plate to my motor just prior to reinstalling it back in '05, onl to find the bolt circle pattern was not correct.
I'd had it sitting around for six months too.
I missed the Nats whilst waiting for the correct flexplate to come from the states
