Thanks!! Hope thats the same as the Fbody bolt

Put some technology in your car and its obsolete lol.

how critical are these anyways? The carolina clutch website shows them fitting a zr1 pressure plate.

I have a zr1 pressure plate too. I think I used these, but I don't remember them coming in 25 packs:

same p/n. I dunno what the deal with the shoulder is though. mcmaster does have shoulder bolts too if you know how long the shoulder is.

I did order that 25 pack, as I have a box with probably 19 of them in the garage. Hasn't fallen off yet.

The corvette pressure plate bolts are longer.

I have the old ones, I can measure for you... then again, they are in a box somewhere... yuck...

The GM piece dont know if the Vette is the same a the Fbody LT1 piece

McCleod pn 1502

Ill have to call and check into this one.

The pressure plate bolts are longer on the Vette than on the Fbody.

Hmm...heres the McLeod part.

Doesnt even look close. Crap.
Wonder if the round part under the hex head slides off exposing more shoulder?

Will call them anyway but dont know which way to go. Reuse these and if they dont stretch when torqued to spec they are still good?


I think they can be a bit longer Ill get measurements tomorrow when I pick my FW up from the balancers shop.
Measure pitch etc also. Gotta be a solution somewhere.


TONS of guys on Fbody boards looking cant believe an exact replacement isnt out there.

Pic was generic got off the phone....they are out of stock too. Wow.

Gonna be a bit before this is back together the trans guy aint cheap.

On a good note found I had the FW and PP clocked wrong, thought I felt a very slight vibration around 2-2200

Moved it over a notch rebalanced it within 1 gram for a whopping $20 cant complain there. Should be silky smooth now.

Here's the pic I found, similar but the shoulder isn't rounded off. If the p/n is the same, then it's the same bolt dumbass!

It surprises me to see a shoulder bolt... these are typically used when you want to pin a part in place without really clamping it down... Not what you'd expect on a pressure plate.

Anyhow, those jegs ones you posted are just regular 2" flange bolts. I used 1.75" bolts which is very close to the oem length.

Your pressure plate is stamped steel right? The threads must be really far down into the flywheel for those long bolts to be needed.

Here's some ARP's of the correct length:

Out of stock


Places like that and McCleod bought all GMs bolts up, they quit making them early 09 I found out. M.C. is having someone making them for them but they have been waiting over 6 mos so far and no product.

I think you just like having something to bitch about.

Is there any reason the regular 1.75" flange bolt won't work?

btw 1.75 is a weird length, so you won't find it at the local hardware store, esp not in a flange bolt. Yes flange bolts are awesome btw.

THey are in fact 1.75 in long have a message in to Carolina Clutch to pick some up thanks you weenie I owe you a brewski and will give up my parking spot on Andys lawn for a day.

Now to come up with $800 to pay this wanker for a simple synchro and slider.

Im going to tear this spare apart when I get time and learn to rebuild these myself, found a nice source of every upgraded part I could want..and they ar reasonable.

Now if I could only find $450 for a scattershield now would be the time.
