Default Cannot find torque converter bolts anywhere!

2.0 liter 4 cylinder 2003
No parts store can help me. A torque converter bolt came loose and got caught in the flywheel and tore everything all to hell. Got another motor and am installing it. Found some bolts that fit, had to trim them down... I would rather have the bolts that are meant for the job so I can make sure to torque them properly. I cannot find the proper torque converter bolts anywhere. The nearest salvage yard that has one is 2.5 hours away and they can't even tell me if the transmission is still in it or not. Any tips or experience on this is appreciated.

Item 8 is the torque converter bolt for my 2001 V6 Tracker. The Suzuki part number is 09103-10340. I saw them pop up Google.

This is the 2001-2004 2-liter transmission. The torque converter bolts show the same Suzuki part number.

I had to hit the salvage yard and take my chances when I came up short one torque convertor bolt.

They had it, and I never found the misplaced one...

I just realized there are two different part numbers for what appears to be the same bolt.

Just to update this thread: the two flex plate bolts are NOT the same. The type 1 bolt is used to center the flex plate on the torque converter. The type 2 bolts hold the flex plate in position.


Type 1 bolt on the left. Type 2 bolt on the right.
