Many do not realize this fact but many aftermarket aluminum flywheels are 4mm thicker in the bolt flange area than the stock DSM flywheel. Using stock length bolts results in insignificant thread engagement and reduced clamping strength as well as contributing to the bolts just plain coming out of the crank and the flywheel coming loose!
Our hardwware kit replaces the stock bolts with high quality OEM grade bolts that are 4.5mm longer than stock to get achieve proper thread engagement and eliminate bolt loosening. If you have ever had a flywheel come loose just hours or days after doing a clutch/flywheel swap you know EXACTLY what this kit will do for you. It also features a steel shim to protect the surface of the flywheel from galling against the bolt shoulders, increasing the accuracy of your torque settings for the bolts.
A new Crankshaft dowel is included as well as high strength studs and copper plated lock nuts for proper pressure plate installation. Put an end to wondering if you are about to strip out the aluminum PP bolt holes in the flywheel and use these studs and nuts!
Instructions for aluminum flywheel install kit-
Factory and some aluminum flywheels are .400" thick at the flange,
other aluminum flywheels are .500" thick, which makes a longer bolt
necessary. Either way the extra length provides fastener stability.
Test fit bolts thru plate and flywheel into crank and insure the bolt
does not bottom out into unthreaded portion of crank bolt holes. In
some cases it is necessary to bottom tap (12mm X 1.25) the crank threads.
For the pressure plate studs, the LONG thread end goes into the flywheel.
Here also in rare cases it may be necessary to bottom tap the 8mm X 1.25
pressure plate threads.
Use the provided dowel pin, if necessary, in the end of the crank.
All cranks have the pin hole, there may or may not already be one present.
Torque 12mm flywheel bolts to factory spec using red loctite.
Pressure plate studs can be torqued to a higher value than factory,
if desired, not to exceed 28 lb/ft.
All sales are final. Returns subject to 20% restocking fee. For complete details, see FP Policy Information.
