Default What size are my converter bolts?

hey guys i have a P.I. Vigilante 3800 converter in in my 96 z28. what size are the bolts that mount the converter to flexplate? i cant take the converter to the parts store because the tranny in bolted the the engine already. the stock converter bolts were too small. thanks

I could have posted the stock thread size long ago, but you said they were too small.

Yea that's what's throwing me off aswell.. I just posted the stock size up there so maybe he can go to lowes or something and figure out what he needs.

the converter holes do not have threads in them like a stock converter.the only thing i can think of is using nuts and bolts but i wanna make sure thats the way to go.just need someone to confirm for me

Mine was threaded and had a little bag with the bolts in it. Definately not nuts and bolts.

Shoot PI an email I bet you'll get a response tomorrow, or call them. In my experience they are customer focused.
