There's nothing structural about the bottom bolts since they fasten to a 1/8" aluminum backing plate. This portion of the bell is protecting the ground, not you. If you want to worry about something how about that big hole they all have aimed right at your legs? (clutch fork)

I remember this from a while back, the guy "grabbed an old (stock) flywheel" he had laying around because he didn't want to wait on getting a new one. Chain's only as strong as the weakest link.

The bellhousing held up pretty well considering the bolts pulling out of the block.

He was lucky this only hurt his wallet...
