Default Need flexplate bolts longer than stock

but not the ATI ones that come with their flexplate, the bolt head is too tall.

Thought I saw a stock style bolt that was longer than the OEM one at one point?

GM made 2 flexplate bolts. One short for use with dish flexplate and no spacer. And one long for use with the spacer. The long ones for use with spacer are P/N #19257940

Flexplate to crank

The heads are too tall on these, and the factory threads are too short to use with ATI spacer/flexplate

What do you mean the head is too tall? What are they contacting, the converter?

Yes. We have measured .345" clearance on current design FTI 4L60e, not suure on their older converters what it was (they changed how they do their pilots) an older Circle D only have .260" I think it was clearly see ARM stamped into the converter itself when we took it apart LOL
