Default Need torque converter nuts for 4.0 S-Type

I've been working on installing a transmission in my 2001 4.0 S-Type.


I was not the one who took the car apart, and I've also found evidence the previous owner(s) have had transmission work done to it in the past.


When I went to remove the torque converter, it only had 6 nuts holding it on. So, I am short a few nuts. (No comments from the peanut gallery! )


The local hardware places don't seem to have M10x1.0 metric nuts. I'm wondering if anyone out there has an S-Type they are parting out? If I can't buy the nuts I'm looking for here, I'm going to start hitting up the local junkyards to see if I can find an S-Type.


Thanks,


Robert

Robert, I would inquire at a local trans shop or search the net for Ford transmission part suppliers... should be an easy find.. You should rather install new bolts than used anyway.

Good Luck

How many nuts are you short?

If the nuts are in any way different from plain old hardware store, best to
duplicate. For example, if they are flanged to spread the load.
