Hello, firstly thanks for sighting my post here, I am new to this forum and i am in a spot of trouble. I have a cruiser Prado ex 1994 2L - TE (2.4td) I had my motor block and head reconditioned
long story short I had to move while reinstalling engine , lost half of my bolts so as you can imagine it has been a long slow process putting the motor together. I now have it complete and sitting on mounts in engine bay, I don't have the bell housing or torque converter bolts so i need to buy them, problem being I don't know the size or TPI of the bolts/ nuts.
If you are the man who knows what i am after , please share some knowledge and help a fellow cruiser owner out.
ASAP please I am borrowing a car to get to work , dunnow how long i can keep it up. thank you.
-Nate

I'm Sure if you find a wrecker that deals in commercial vehicles for a dozen liquid one's They find ya set of bolts.

or at least know where to get them.

just so you know, the factory bolts that hold the torque convertor to the flex plate are very high spec (strong)... for a reason i'd guess.

Torque converter bolts arent sold in nut and bolt stores Think they are a metric 9mm dont go there, a wrecker would be your best bet as toyota was ex japan and not cheap really a pain in the arse.
