I've seen some swaps on here where guys used very thick(.5" or more) flywheel spacers to make everything work. Where did you find those long high grade 10x1.00mm bolts?thanks,Jared

I guess i would fall in this category.. Mine were supplied by Mr. Dixon when i purchase it so my best bet would try a Fastenal store or something of that nature. Pretty sure they've got to be a hex head design as well or they might not work being so close together.

You being located in Florida i would think there would be one in the area?

I would try ARP first. What you find at Fastenal might not be strong enough.

Am I weird that I love going to Fastenal.

I checked the ARP catalog real quick Ford Pinto and mod motors use M10x1.0 in a couple different lengths.

I emailed ARP, it is an odd request because it's longer than the Pinto bolt that comes in at just over an inch. Fastenal didn't have anything high tensile in the spec I'm looking for.

I think I just found something in a Google search.

The reply from ARP"Hi Jared,

The longest flywheel bolt I have in 10mm is 1.150". You may want to callour manufacturing department (805) 525-1497 ask for Special parts, theymay have something made up off of a special order.

Thanks,Sam BensonAutomotive Racing Products"

I have yet to follow up.

I love Fastenal too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Also, I am using the 10mm x 1.0 flywheel bolts ARP made for the ford pinto. I have 4 extra if anybody needs any (ARP sells them in sets of 6, but you need 8.)
