Hello,
1975 914-4 2.0 D-Jet FI

After 10 years the engine and transmission were reunited with the chassis. I am not really happy or confident with the bolts and nuts holding the Engine and Transmission. They are OK but origninal and after all the work I have done I want new Bolts, washers and nuts. My question would be what is the actual size of the Bolt for the Engine mount (2) and the Transmission mount (2). Also what is the recommendation for nuts & washers, Lock washers, nylock nuts etc...

Thanks for your help,

Vysoc

Best way is to take the bolt to your hardware store (loose nuts and bolt secton) and find a know thread pitch and size nut that works. Then measure the bolt ect. Also very important is the hardness which is usually stamped on the bolt (10.9 ect. or higher, maybe 8.8 but I think 10.9 for those bolts.) Ace Hardware has metrics and Hardness ect.) Or call Auto Atlanta as they have the nuts and bolts for sale.. I think nyloc and a lock washer would be good.
