Need help with TC /flexplate install

If the spline count is right and the snout is right, and it falls into the pump ok , then you are in good shape. You then have three choices with the bolts; cut, replace, or space. I don't like to mess with those 4 little bolts cuz all the power the engine makes has to pass through those babies, so for me the choices are replace or space. If I were to space them, I would use hardened washers, which might be a trip to the hardware shop, so I would try to get the shorter bolts first, since I'm going there anyway.

EDIT I say try cuz I don't think they're out there.So hardened washers it might have to be. I suppose Hardened or grade 8 loc-washers would be ok, but they tend to chew up the relatively softer flexplate. I might install those between the plate and the TC, and then the loc-tite as mentioned, below.
