I see that AA does not carry them, I don't see them on the Pelican site either. I know the size, but can't find bolts that size, except grade 8.8.

On that page, it clearly states pressure plate bolt, but the accompanying diagram shows a muffler bracket bolt. Thought I'd mention this so you make sure you're getting the right bolt. Andys |

Andys You beat me to it. Click the one under that and it shows some other car's flywheel.... I would call that a fly ring. |

Clark Clark , of all the things George has , he does have these bolts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Gotta look in the right sections of the catalog, I got mine form him a few years ago , also get the o-ring seal for the rear of the fltwheel as well as the washer/plate that goes under the bolts , along with the pilot bearing. They have low profile heads on them to clear the clutch disc . You get em from who ever , but AA does have them , heck use the 1-800 number ... Jack |

I'll bet they have them at Ace hardware.
Or: https://www.belmetric.com/hex-bolts-class-1...tags3pvvco5vug0 They dont need to be as strong as you would think. They are not under that much strain and it is in shear. (however I am sure someone will have a story about breaking them before). Stu |

Because it's a push type clutch, the bolts aren't holding much pressure. And they're not really holding any shear pressure. I don't know for sure what the spec is, but from what I see in the PET, they look like standard 8.8 bolts.
