>>>DOH!   The bellhousing is European.   European is metric.   On the 
Pantera, if a bolt doesn't thread into an American thing, then it's metric.

Interestingly, Wilkinson's website lists the bolt as being 7/16.   But the 
Ford parts book correctly lists them as being M8 x 1.25 (metric fine).

This begs the question--where are your old bolts?
