DOES ANYONE KNOW THE BOLT SIZES /THREAD PITCH etcTHAT HOLD THE INSPECTION PLATE DIRECTLY ONTO THE BELL HOUSING ON A DODGE CHALLENGER 1970. THIS PLATE ALSO FITS AROUND THE STARTER MOTOR.

DO YOU KNOW WHO SUPPLIES THESE BOLTS.

THANKS
MIKE

Look in the yellow pages phone book or whatever you have where you live and look up bolts suppliers or hardwear stores.

If you have one of the bolts take it with you. If not either try to find one that fits from another part of the engine or go to a breakers yard and steal some off another chrysler auto trans.

If you are still stuck I will crawl under my car sometime this week and pull one out for a look.

I got some lying about somewhere, if you want I will try them on my pitch guage for ya

Well Mike.
You never got back to us so we don't know if you found any bolts. It has been over a week I know but I get around to doing things eventually. Just ask my wife.
For reference I took one out of mine to have a look for you (noticed I had one missing too!).

They are 1/4" NC20, have a 7/16ths head, and are about 7/16ths long.

Hi DAVE,

Thanks for the info. I am not sure what happened my reply must have got lost in cyber space. Thanks also to Alex for his response.
This is a great help line for me a Welshman living in the states. Big step up from my 850cc Mini.

Thanks Again

Mike
