Please Help,Doing manual conversion and i used the auto flexplate bolts on manual fly

G'day, is it possible to use the Auto flexplate bolts into the manual flywheel, i put locktite on them all and they spun it a bit before they were finger tight then a turn or so with the torque wrench before they were actually starting to torque then a little bit more before they were torqued. Will this be ok ?

Auto flexplate bolts are shorter than manual flywheel bolts, they will only be in a couple of threads....Not ideal, thats for sure.

Pretty sure they are single-use bolts anyway, and shouldn't be re-torqued?

If there was any place I wouldn't want to risk using dodgy bolts, it would be the flywheel

yeah way to short its the only thing keeping the flywheel away from ya toes LOL

You can get the bolts from holden for about $5 each.

yep. go to holden and get them. they come pre-loctited too. they are around $4-5 for each bolt.

You'll pay around $40 from holden. Go to a specialist dealer like SpeedPro (or any other ARP dealer) and get an ARP flywheel bolt set for abot $25.

Glad you've decided to do the sensible thing, though. Last thing you want is the flywheel coming off at 5000rpm and amputating your feet
