Default Re: Fidanza clutch bolts.

Ron had the bolts custom made for him from ARP. Pkg also includes drill bit and tap. Bit & tap don't add much value, but I'm sure having the bolts custom made wasn't cheap. I didn't want to drop $100 either, but it was the wise choice in my opinion considering the possibilities. I'm old school and saw several clutch & flywheel explosions in the "old days."

Give Ron a call. He's more than glad to talk with you and share his knowledge.

I found the TQ Converter bolts too @ ARP and used them. I think they come in pkg of 3 or 6, cant remember for sure, but don't forget that you need 8 for the LT5.

I tend to get a little carried away sometimes, but a lot of folks use thread lock compound, but forget to clean & prime the bolt & tapped threads properly. Should use cleaner/primer made for thread lock compounds, otherwise the job is compromised.

Opps! Sorry for the rant. Saw you are tool & die guy. I used to own a machine shop many yrs ago. You're an expert on this stuff.
