Where can I buy T5 bellhousing/tranny bolts?

I didnt get them when I got the T5 parts, Im wondering where can I purchase these. Can I get grade 8? Anywhere like Summit carries these at all?

Thanks!

Re: Where can I buy T5 bellhousing/tranny bolts?

You're talking about tranny to bellhousing, or bellhousing to engine?
My T-10 must be different than your T5, mine takes 4 1/2NC bolts to bolt the tranny to BH, and 6 3/8"NC bolts to bolt the BH to the engine.

If the T5 of that year uses metric bolts, then no, you can't buy grade 8 bolts
Why don't you just measure your old bolts with a thread gauge, or did you lose the bolts?

FYI - I've never even heard of a failure because of insufficient strength bolts in this location....

Where? Some hardware stores have a large bolt section. You just need to know what size you need and then go purchase them.

Grade 8? Sure. Not really required there, grade 5 will work just fine.

Sonix, I must have missed the sarcasm or something, I've gotten grade 12.8 bolts in metric before.

Yea, you sure did miss the sarcasm dave, but thanks for coming out :P
I think it's 12.9 isn't it?
8.8, 10.9, 12.9? And yea, I was just clarifying, now he'll know the difference.
