Pressure Plate Bolts - What's the deal??
I was looking to pick up some pressure plate bolts so I can mount up my clutch tomorrow - and I've gotten nothing but conflicting information. Is anyone an "expert" here?
I am running a 50 oz 157 tooth McLeod flywheel. Should be standard issue 5.0 Mustang replacement Hardware.
Modern Driveline, who sold me the disc and pressure plate says 8MM bolts - Ford PN #N602549-S2.
Speed Merchant, my local speed shop said they were not metric rather 5/16-18 x1". They sold me Mr. Gasket PN #911
I called McLeod, who actually makes the flywheel - all of their "tech guys" are apparently at SEMA, but someone looked up my flywheel (which is PN 453102) and told me they were 5/16".
I called a local Ford dealer, and they said they should be 8MMx1.25x20
I called another Ford dealer and they said 8MMx1.5x20.
I have now rec'd about 5 different answers on this one. I am thinking about buying them all and trying them!
Not looking for more opinions, I am wondering if anyone KNOWS, definitively whether these things should be standard or metric? Would a big name aftermarket mfgs like McLeod change the threads on their flywheels from the factory metric (8MM) to standard (5/16)? Help?
