Default 69 Trans to frame mount bolt size and direction?

I am putting my 69 project back together and I can't find this assembly in the AIM. There are two bolts that go to the top and one on each side. I have two size bolts I think it is the smaller of the two but am not sure
Any ideas?

Thanks
Glenn in San Diego

sorry the pic is rotated wrong

Direction? I don't know what GM decided......they don't/didn't think the way mechanics think..........

but I would make sure the nuts are where I could see them in case they ever became loose.

Hi Glenn,
Frame looks terrific!!!
Quite an assortment of fasteners for the transmission and shifter mounts.
This photo shows them laying in the relative position they're used on the bracket and mount. You can see their sizes.
Regards,
Alan

Hmmm Mine seems to be missing the part that curves around to the exhaust pipe holes.
Is this needed?

Is there a page number for this from a 69 AIM?

Thanks
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
The front and rear exhaust pipes join and are secured in place at that point.
The bracket is called a 'clamp' (?) in the AIM.
It's shown in the 71 AIM in Section 8, Fuel and Exhaust. In the 71 AIM it's UPC8, Sheet A2, Item #10, Clamp, 3853723. Probably in the same location in your 69 AIM.
All cars had the 'clamp' except for the relatively few cars with N14. Are you fortunate to have a side exhaust car?
Regards,
Alan

The front pipes, bracket, and exhaust clamps in place.
