The Ford Barn - View Single Post - CRS disease: What size bolt for the outer tourque tube connector

Might be some talking at cross purposes here. If you're talking about the two bolts and nuts that hold the two halves of the clamshell together they're 7-16 fine thread with 5/8 af head on the bolt and the nut. Standard type bolt heads. Not sure if cross drilled for castle nuts or just use a spring washer and a standard (but 5/8 af nut).

If (as some replied have assumed) you're talking about the 4 special bolts that hold the clamshell to the trans, they are as described above, special heads on the earlier ones, but just standard bolts on later (my 41pu for example). These are cross drilled for castle nuts, which must be 5/8 af as well.
