hardware to mount VP trans case???

[hatefulboy]

anybody know what size screws are needed to mount the VP trans? Don't know why they wouldn't include the screws since the stock ones don't work.

for the screws in the skid? or to screw the trans together? i use 8-10mm for the skid and 25-28mm for the trans depending whats availabe and cut them down to size. i'd tell you exact but dont have a ruler with mm on it.

Is this (linked) what you are talking about? The stock case uses M3x25mm bolts. Why won't the stock bolts work for you?

Yes, The stock screws are a course thread and the threads in the case are fine thread. (the ones that hold it to the skid) Also the stock screws have one longer screw and one that's shorter.

use 2 3x8mm screws and 2 3x10mm screws. if the 10s are to long which i doubt they are cut them down a bit. if you dont already have them it would be a good idea to get a good assortment of 3mm screws to keep in your tool box
