The bolts that came with my new flywheel are way too short to work. Can I reuse my old bolts or is that not done?

In all the clutch jobs, engine overhauls, and jobs requiring removal of the T4 flywheel I've done over the last 40 years, I don't recall ever replacing the bolts. They're not stretch bolts (AKA "torque to yield"), they're just plain old bolts with a locking flange which gets a bite on the steel locking plate. Besides that, the book doesn't say to replace them.
