steve56 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Have 09 Legacy. Can I use oil pan bolts to put the separator plate back on the block? A couple the original bolts heads stripped when removing the separator plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 i dont think so they need to be flush with the surface or they might interfere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the older separator plate was fastened with bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 If you have a tin plate you might be able to do it. If you have the cast alloy plate, you’ll need the countersunk screws to make it all work with flywheel clearances etc. Cheers Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cast alloy and plastic ones use countersunk hardware because the plate is much thicker. The plate steel ones use a conventional bolt. If you've got a dealer nearby, go spend $5 and get the right ones. The dealer I worked at always stocked a few sets as we would frequently retrofit the new plate in place of the plastic ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
