2001 Explorer 4R70W stock converter stud size

[aisawalsh]

Hello, I installed a 4R70W transmission from a 2001 Ford Explorer but the torque converter did not come with any nuts. Does anyone know the nut/stud size to bolt the converter to the flex-plate?

Went through this recently and I believe these are the nuts I used.

I just picked up a set from the dealer. In stock and price was fair. And it is the right part.
The link above scares me a little, not a fan of distorted threads as a thread lock. at least on threads I care about. The factory nuts don't have an issue with falling off, so I just do that. Maybe a touch of blue threadlock if I am feeling paranoid that day.

I went by a master list here that I can't find now, but it said flanged stover nut which is what I used.
