Al,

  The 10mm X 1.25 (or 1.50 cannot = remember for sure) bolts that fasten the

torgue converter to the flexplate of a Mazda = automatic transmission are just

the correct length (with a copper washer from = OMP nozzles) to plug the

rotor housing ports........Or shorten = standard 10mm bolt to about 1/2 inch

of thread length (Make sure bolt does not = bottom out before sealing)..........

 

FWIW

I took a look at it yesterday, = and it makes sense to replace the banjo bolt with a regular bolt and seal = washer.  But I just don’t happen to have any torque converter to flexplate = bolts lying aroundJ.  I can get some 10 mm x 1.5 x 12 mm long at = McMaster-Carr, but I’ll double check the thread pitch; unless you happen to = recall, Mark.

 

Thanks,

 

Al
