I just bought a sandwich plate from flooder, he didn't give me the allen bolts. I need to know the sizing of the four allen boths that screw into the block thanks. here is a picture. Also the gasket did not come with it, I was thinking maybe the stock gasket would work but i am not 100% sure.

Are the ones you have there too long? I'm sure you could run up to Home Depot or Lowes and figure out what the thread pattern is; I'm guessing M8 - 1.25. For future reference, its called a Hexagonal Socket Head Cap Screw...

hardware store is your best friend. take it there and look for the bolts. but if you cant find it there. this is the place to call. Fastenal, they carry evey kind of bolt and size. you'll just have to ask them for what youre looking for.

why not see if the stock ones fit this_ when remove the stock on u can find out.
or if they ar too long/short, take one with you to hardware store so youll at least have size and threadpitch

and for gasket, good luck with that. usually its just 2 small o rings iirc

if thats the circuit sports oil block adapter, you can use the oem o rings things that are on the stock adapter.

edit: i used a little rtv also to ensure a complete seal.

oem bolts don't work.

But they are the same thread pitch. You couldn't just go match up a cap head bolt to the OE one? That's too difficult?
