Do yourself a huge favor and if you can't afford a new flywheel, at least round-up a good used one. At the very least do as suggested above and re-drill and tap (PRECISELY) at the 60 degree offset...…..did I say PRECISELY? And don't just go to Lowes and buy six grade 8 bolts.....get the proper, dedicated pressure plate bolts. But WTF do I know? DD

The man knows from whence he speaks, as do I. Fortunately for me, unlike Kube's experience, every piece missed me completely. Do yourself and the next owner of your car a favor and get another flywheel...
