I was wondering if anyone else has alan head bolts instead of hex bolts on their ca. my motorset came with alan head bolts and was wondering if anybody has change them to hex heads? alan head ones just feel weak.

Do you have a stock clutch/flywheel, or does it look "different" than a normal clutch? Multi disc setups come with alan heads installed normally (OS Giken for instance). They may have just been swapped. Personally I prefer alan heads over normal hex. Just go buy some sockets with the alan heads in them as a set.

Later,

I've only ever seen hex on the CA.(Not including the high end clutches)

My BMW has allen heads, I took most of my bloody knuckle off on the PP taking one of them out.
