Clutch fasteners
For my manual conversion it bought a '90 camaro 153 tooth flywheel with its pressure plate and clutch, the combo that came with the Camaro with T5's.
It's waiting for me at the border.
They don't come with the bolts, and I would have liked to order the fasteners before I go pick it that I would save a trip to the US.
So I started ordering on Summit and got question for you guys :
-For the flywheel bolt, 6 x 7/16-20 RH 1"
12-point head or not?
-For the pressure plate bolt, ?? x 3/8-16 1"
how many do I need, 6? 12? 18? (never saw a pressure plate IRL)
-For the scattershield, 4 x 1/2-13
Couldn't find on Summit (I mean bellhousing specificbolts), would regular grade 8 bolt do the job?
Of you course, if the info I could gather so far are wrong, let me know.
Thanks!

Did a 6spd swap this August,used ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts.These bolts are special fasteners,the flywheel has smaller heads on them compared to regular grade 8 bolts.The pressure plate bolts are shoulder type bolts with a special washer .I would not use regular grade 8 bolts for the flywheel and pressure plate.Locktite was used in both applications and torqued to specs.When installing the flywheel check the length of the bolts,the first set I got was incorrect and were to long hitting the block behind the crankshaft flange...This is a great project I luv drivin my vette 10 times more.....Good Luck!

Get the ARP stuff for the flywheel and PP,their listings should help you out.Locally sourced grade 8 bolts should be just fine for your bellhousing,remember aftermarket scattershields are infamous for their lack of precision,you should verify that the big hole is concentric with the crank/input shaft,a quick search should show you how to check it.
