Yes, they supplied 5/16"-18, 3/4" in length, no shoulders. Steve Christ's rebuild book references bolts and lock washers in the clutch reassembly process.

I removed one and it appears that the bolt was threaded into the flywheel a tad under 1/2". All six of them very tight when I checked them. I think changing bolts is a bit of overkill for my street application but what would be the ideal bolt??
