Semi-Auto Bolts
Does anyone know where I can get replacement bolts that attach the torque converter to the flex plate on a 1968 semi-automatic beetle? Tried
Boltmasters today but they just turned their nose up. Maybe I'll have to replace them with something similar.

Smiley,
Try volksbahn, stokerssiding or VVDS. Might be worth ringing Mick Motors just in case he has spare ones. Other than that, advertisers on
TheSamba. About 15US for all four, plus postage from the US.

Doubt it Andrew. They have to be just the right size or they rub on the back of the engine case, or the gearbox.

My old ones are pretty knocked around. I've only had the engine out 4 times since I've owned the car so they've had a hard life before that. I got
some hex socket bolts a ground them to size today at work. Just finished putting the engine back in 10 minutes ago, all see needs is a charged battery
and some oil, yay!!

Hi,
these were VW ONLY part... You cannot buy them new in Australia as far as i know...
001 301 095A CIP1 in USA
001 301 083B Torque converter oil seal
I did use 4 x stainless steel allen headed bolts to the torque converter a few times....
I then acquired 4 original screws in good condition which I now use... do not use loctite on those screws...
the nuts brazed to the flexplate can come loose..
