zetec bellhousing bolt thread
trogdor - 3/4/06 at 06:47 PM

Hi, i have just brought an engine stand to mount my zetec too so i can work on it safely, it nearly fell off its pallet yesterday! anyway i need to know what the thread is of the bolts that mount the gearbox to the block?

i assume they are a metric size?

also can anyone tell me how far the holes for the bolts go into the block? i want to get the bolts in as far as possible to enable a secure mounting.

many thanks

knowing ford it'll be M10 or M12. Probably M10.

Just been out to pop a mount off, and checked the bellhousing bolts while I was there. It's definitely a 17mm spanner - so M10 it is.
