I sheared off the flywheel bolts a couple of years ago using an aluminum
flywheel. I contacted Jack Wheeler, who also had the same problem. He
corrected
his problem by getting two dowel pins made, the same length that the flywheel
is thick. He then used the stock flywheel bolts and locking tabs. He felt
that he never found any bolts for that application that were better. Tying two
bolts together may also give you a little added strength:
