Clutching at straws? clutch pressure plate bolt replacements

[gggGary]

Was shopping at my "little bro's" place and rounded up a some bitz n pieces,

lengths are a bit off so they're going to need trimming.
I'll do a bit of lathe work and see how it all fitz.
Mikes gets about $8 a bolt these total about $2 each.
And they should LOOK trick installed. Collars and sleeves are stainless, bolts grade 12.9

Stainless 12.9?

17-4 or 17-7

Love the undercut radius after the end of threads!

Now you will have to come up with a plexiglass cover so you can admire them

I'm not very smart, so I'll risk looking stupid, but I don't like it.
The sleeve is a smaller diameter than stock. Fitment issue? Slop?
A little countersunk triangle of metal is resisting the clutch springs, as opposed to a big, fat buttonhead.
And, as said, no one see's it.
But, what do I know? Probably not much...

My
Original clutch bolt with a little lathe work. 50 cents maybe for the allen screw.

I do the same, modify original screws .....

The only issue I've encountered so far is sometimes I don't get them drilled straight through. But hopefully that'll be resolved once I finish refurbing this little beauty and can start using it .....

I don't get them drilled straight through.

Hey 5T you ever try the old clamp the drill bit in the vice, and chuck the bolt in the spindle trick? That will put in a straight centered hole every time.

 

[gggGary]

Anyone need a set? NLA

I don't have a use for these.
Ps to those drilling the originals use a bevel head allen screw. Keeps more meat and not so tall.
They'll look better too.

 

[gggGary]

Those allen heads really bugged me. More to follow.

stock, the aluminum sleeve modified to hold a countersunk bolt, and the made up pieces type.

I don't care for the made up pieces type and won't go ahead with them.
