Ok the bolts that hold the backing plates on. Were can I find a source for them? Also is there a gasket or anything between the ends and backing plates?


Does anyone have a exploded view on assemble of this area?

Cass can hook you up. www.doctordiff.com. His website is out of date, but go to the contact page and email or call him.

Yeah I know he can but im looking for the size of the bolts really. I can buy grade 8 local

Josh, I think they are 3/8" 24, but I am not positive. They are the same as the 8 3/4. Yes, there is a gasket between the plate and the housing end from the factory. I think it is a foam piece. Most people just leave it off, but I always replace them or use silicone.

Just called strange and they told me I need a 3/8ths x 1 7/16 but the guy said they were T Bolts is that what yall use?

 

[RustyRatRod]

Yup those are the right ones. It has a head shaped like a T because there's not enough room on the back side of the flange for a standard bolt head.

Where to get them Stroker?

Year One, Brewer's....somewhere like that.

I wonder after talking to Crackedback. Would using regular bolts and grinding them to fit would work.

What grade bolt should I use? We have plenty Grade 5 and 8 sources in town here.
