Ford OEM bolts (Mr. Gasket & ARP, too) are 5/16"-18 x 1" -- but they're going to have the shoulders on them. If those shoulders bottom out in to your flywheel then your pressure plate is not going to be tight no matter how hard you torque them down. If you have half an inch of thread grip on a 5/16" bolt, I'd leave it alone. I really would like an answer though from McCleod on exactly what it is they're doing with their bolts.
