Does anyone have a US source for new bolts to connect diesel vanagon gearbox bell housing to inline engine. I have found the following links. I've seen both M12 1.5 and The M12 1.75 referenced in the forum thread below.

Does anyone in the US have a complete kit like the brickwerks one available?

My inline conversion is missing a few bolts and the ones I've removed had multiple washers used to make them fit plus mismatched head styles.

WWGrainger and Fastenal are my "go to" hardware providers.

Link for 12 x 1.75 x 120 bolt.
Use left column of web page to spec out and search various sizes.
Your spec of 122mm? 120mm will fit the bill.........
Stay away from stainless, they are weak!
You may have to purchase more than you need too. They are set up for industrial supply, not home owners.

Mcmaster Carr is a good source. I wish I had a list for you but I don't.
They have minimus as well but very fast shipping, usually next day.

Iforget the size you need but go to arp's site and you can get single size bolt kits. You will probablyhave to order a couple kits but it gives you spares and arp fastners are top notch. I had to do this for my bell housing adapter on my 1980 transmission.

Illustration 5-10 is supposed to have the fastener list but it is incomplete, having only a few, at the very bottom.
Then Illustration 134-10 has the 2 long bolts that also hold the starter.
Why the supposed list on 5-10 never got fixed, that is my question.

This weekend, I found some European ekta site that has some m12 and m10 bolts listed without length at the bottom of the belhousing parts breakdown they are not called out on the drawing so I assume they were probably the bolts.

I took the list provided in the other thread and called two local vw parts counters. Both said they knew from experience that the parts would t be available to them and declined to even look the numbers up.

I would use that list but it's impossible to find a 122mm m12 bolt. I a 120mm will work.

I've repurposed the single-use TTY head bolts for the 12mm bolts although they are a tiny bit shorter than the stock starter bolts. I've also repurposed the main bearing bolts for the 10mm ones. Those are an excellent match.
