Default 200 4R bolt size question
My obscure question of the day.

Does anyone know the bolt size for the torque converter cover on a 200 4R? It looks like it should be 1/4 inch but neither of my 1/4 inch thread chasers seems to fit and I didn't want to mess up the threads by forcing it.

I though they were metric.

Could easily be. I don't have metric thread chasers but do have taps. Do you know the size?

I've sure seen lots of #10 sheet metal screw in those.

It is some sort of metric sheet metal screw with a flanged hex head on it. The socket size is 10mm, if that is any help.
