pressure plate bolts

in the middle of my t5 swap right now and ive hit a snag. my pressure plate did not come with bolts to mount to the flywheel. does anyone have the size of the bolt? i figure i can get grade 8's at oriellys or a hardware store but i need the size. thanks!

Re: pressure plate bolts

they are 3/8-16 x 1" with lockwashers. however they have a shoulder which a standard 3/8-16 x 1" wouldnt have. I dont know how important it is but I went with arp for the peace of mind. I suppose another option would be to get something like a 3/8-16 x 1 1/4" with a shoulder and cut it down to 1"

Re: pressure plate bolts

I dont "think" the shoulder is that important. I just used regular grade 8's for my pressure plate.
